DAY SPONSOR

With higher temperatures and increased humidity comes a danger of over-heating when we’re outdoors playing or working. Here are some preventative measures from the Centers for Disease Control that you can take to keep from becoming ill in hot weather:
- WATER: Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water. A good rule of thumb is to drink 4 cups of water every hour. It is best to drink a small amount of water every 15 minutes.
- REST: Rest breaks help your body recover.
- SHADE: Resting in the shade or in air-conditioning helps you cool down.
- Report symptoms of heat illness right away.
- Wear light-colored cotton clothing.
- Wear a hat.
- Wear sunscreen to prevent sunburn.
- Watch out for your coworkers.
- Know where you are working in case you need to call 911.
