STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK
UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. KEEP YOUR PETS IN A COOL AND WELL
VENTILATED LOCATION WITH PLENTY OF WATER AVAILABLE. THE MOST
HUMANE THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INDOORS WITH YOU.

POSSIBLE...RESCHEDULE STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES FOR THE EARLY MORNING
OR LATE EVENING HOURS. KNOW THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF HEAT
EXHAUSTION AND HEAT STROKE. WEAR LIGHT WEIGHT AND LOOSE FITTING
CLOTHING WHEN POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.

TO REDUCE YOUR RISK WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS...THE OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS SCHEDULING FREQUENT
REST BREAKS IN A SHADED OR AIR CONDITIONED ENVIRONMENT. ANYONE
OVERCOME BY HEAT SHOULD BE MOVED TO A COOL AND SHADED LOCATION.
