Heat Stroke Prevention To prevent heatstroke, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, even if you don't feel thirsty. Wear loose, light-colored, breathable clothing, and protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day and seek shade or air conditioning when possible.

 Key points to remember:
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, throughout the day, and even more when physically active.
• Dress Lightly: Wear light-colored, loose-fitting, and breathable clothing.
• Protect from the Sun: Apply sunscreen, wear a hat, and sunglasses.
• Avoid Peak Heat: Limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day (typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.).
• Stay Cool Indoors: Seek out air-conditioned places whenever possible.
• Pace Yourself: Take breaks and avoid overexertion, especially during the first few days of exposure to high temperatures.
• Check on Others: Pay special attention to vulnerable individuals like the elderly, children, and those with medical conditions.
• Never Leave Children or Pets in Cars: Vehicles can heat up very quickly, even with the windows cracked open.
