Hot Weather Health

Each year, high temperatures put people at risk but there is hope. Check out this Heat Emergency Guide from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

One last hot tip...

These self-help measures are not a substitute for medical care but may help you recognize and respond promptly to warning signs of trouble. Your best defense against heat-related illness is prevention. Staying cool and making simple changes in your fluid intake, activities, and clothing during hot weather can help you remain safe and healthy.
