HOT WEATHER PREPAREDNESS


PUBLIC HEALTH INSIDER BLOGS

 * No AC? Can’t open your windows? Here’s how to stay cool
 * We’re ready for warmer weather – but our bodies might not be
 * Feeling the heat? Maybe it's your medication
 * It’s summer! Let’s swim, safely
 * Who is at risk for a heart attack in the heat?



When it's hot, the number of people in King County who have serious health
problems like heart attacks, stroke, and kidney failure rises with the
temperature.


WHO IS AT HIGHER RISK

If you are in one of these groups, take extra precautions to stay cool, drink
water, and take breaks from the heat:

 * Older adults (65 and older)
   
 * Young children
   
 * People with chronic health conditions or mental illness
   
 * Athletes who exercise outdoors
   
 * Outdoor workers
   
 * People living unsheltered or homeless

Medications and health conditions can make you more sensitive to heat, including
those for allergies and colds, thyroid, depression, heart/blood pressure, and
weight loss. Check with your doctor about your health conditions and
medications.


WHAT TO DO ON HOT DAYS


 * CHECK ON AT-RISK FRIENDS, FAMILY AND NEIGHBORS
   
   


 * STAY COOL
   
    * Spend time in air-conditioned buildings (such as malls, movie theaters, or
      libraries) if you can and avoid direct contact with the sun.
      
    * Some cities in King County may offer cooling centers for those who need
      them.
      
    * Reduce physical activity and move to shaded areas.
      
    * Do outdoor activities in the cooler morning or evening hours.
    * Cool your body down quickly by wearing a wet scarf, bandana, or shirt.
      


 * STAY HYDRATED
   
    * Drink plenty of water and don't wait until you're thirsty to drink more.
      
    * Limit or avoid caffeine and alcohol. They can be dehydrating.


 * NO INFANTS, CHILDREN AND PETS IN PARKED CARS
   
   Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car, even if the windows
   are cracked open. It only takes a few minutes for severe medical problems and
   even death to occur.


 * WATCH FOR SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION OR HEAT STROKE
   
   Seek medical care immediately if you know someone who experiences symptoms.
   See below for additional details.


 * CHECK THE LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST
   
   The National Weather Service is the best place to access the most current
   weather and forecast information.


WATER SAFETY

Some people turn to local rivers to cool off, but drowning is a real concern.
Please use caution and wear a personal flotation device (PFD) on the water. Find
deals on affordable lifejackets. And if you want to swim, choose a safer
location – visit a local pool or lifeguarded beach instead.


RECOGNIZING HEAT EXHAUSTION AND HEAT STROKE

When people's bodies can't cool themselves quickly enough it can cause heat
exhaustion. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include muscle cramps, weakness,
dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting. If you see someone with signs of
overheating, move the person to a cooler location, have them rest for a few
minutes and then slowly drink a cool beverage. Get medical attention for them
immediately if they do not feel better.

Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke, which can cause death or permanent
disability unless treated immediately. Symptoms of heat stroke include:

 * An extremely high body temperature (above 103°F)
 * Red, hot, and dry skin
 * Rapid, strong pulse
 * Nausea, confusion and unconsciousness
