Key heat-related preparedness tips:
- Heed all heat watches, warnings, and advisories shared by your local Emergency Management agency
- Keep hydrated and avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages
- Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and stay out of the sun when possible. If you must be in the sun, wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) and a wide-brimmed hat.
- Avoid strenuous activities .
- Stay in the shade or under awnings as much as possible.
- Check on your neighbors, particularly older residents, families with young children, people with special needs, or living alone and make sure they are OK.
- Monitor updates provided by the National Weather Service (NWS) offices: Chicago, Quad Cities, Lincoln, St. Louis, and Paducah
- Keep rooms well ventilated with air conditioners and fans. Keep your windows open if you don't have air conditioning or a fan.
- Note: Fans will not prevent heat-related illness when the temperature is in the high 90s.
- Cool down with cool, wet towels and periodic cool baths or showers.
- Take advantage of cooling centers, public pools, and air-conditioned stores and malls during periods of extreme heat.
- Exposure to air conditioning for even a few hours a day will reduce the risk for heat-related illness.
- Do not leave children or pets in a closed vehicle, even for a few minutes. On a hot day, temperatures inside a closed vehicle can reach 140ºF-190ºF within 30 minutes.
- Seniors and others who may be sensitive to extreme heat should contact friends, neighbors, or relatives periodically throughout the day.
- Seek help if you feel symptoms of heat-related illnesses.
