FAO Families - Be Summer Ready

While many people enjoy warmer weather, heat can cause some people to become unwell through overheating, dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Here are some tips to keeping safe in the heat:

• Keep out of the sun at the hottest times of the day, between 11am and 3pm
• Do physical activity at times when it is cooler, such as the morning or evening.
• Keep indoor spaces cool by closing windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun.
• When outside make sure you cover up with a hat and sunglasses, seek shade and apply sunscreen.
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and what to do if you or someone else has them
