Tips on Staying Healthy In the Heat 

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and keep hydrated throughout the day.
• Wear Protective Clothing: If you must go out, plan your day to avoid going out during the hottest hours, and wear sunscreen. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothes, and wear a hat or use an umbrella.
• Avoid Hot Cars: Cars get very hot. Never leave children or pets in cars and call 911 if you see a child or pet in a car alone.
• Monitor your Health: Beware of heat-related illness, like heat stroke and call 911 if you see these symptoms: high body temperature, vomiting, and pale and clammy skin.
• Check on Others: Check on those at risk, like those who are sick, older adults, pregnant women, and children, and those who live alone.
• Mask Wearing: If you are wearing a mask, avoid strenuous workouts wearing face coverings or masks not intended for athletic purposes.
• Keep pets indoors – heat also affects your pets, keep them indoors or if they will be outside, make sure they have plenty of water and a shaded area to help them keep cool.
  • Never leave a pet alone in a vehicle, even with the windows cracked or open. Pets should also not be left in a garage, since garages can get very hot due to a lack of ventilation and insulation. Click here to download pet safety tips during extreme heat, brought to you by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control.
• Prepare an Emergency Preparedness Plan: Visit your power company’s website (https://www.ladwp.com/) or contact them by phone to determine if you are scheduled for a rolling power outage.
