During

A heatwave is a prolonged period of excessively hot weather, often accompanied by high humidity. During a heatwave, it’s important to take certain behaviors to stay safe:

1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. 2. Stay Cool: Use fans, air conditioning, or seek shade to stay cool. 3. Limit Outdoor Activity: Try to avoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day. 4. Wear Light Clothing: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to stay comfortable. 5. Check on Vulnerable Individuals: Ensure that elderly, young children, and those with health issues are coping with the heat. 6. Never Leave Children or Pets in Hot Cars: Temperatures inside cars can become dangerously high very quickly. 7. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on weather forecasts and heat advisories for updates.

Taking these precautions can help protect yourself and others during a heatwave.
