☀️ Summer temperatures are climbing, and so is the risk of heat-related illness.

Heat exhaustion and heat stroke may sound similar, but heat stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Knowing the warning signs can help you make the right decision when every minute matters.

If you suspect someone is experiencing heat stroke, call 911 immediately.

While you're enjoying time outdoors, remember to:
💧 Drink plenty of water.
🌳 Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
🧢 Wear lightweight clothing and avoid prolonged time outside during the hottest part of the day.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and enjoy your summer!
