It is important to take precautions to avoid suffering heat-related illnesses.
Markham recommends the following based on Health Canada guidelines:
□ Drink plenty of cool liquids, especially water, to decrease your risk of dehydration.
□ Wear loose-fitting, light-coloured clothing made of breathable fabric.
□ Keep people and pets in your care out of parked vehicles and direct sunlight.
□ Spend a few hours in a cool place - a tree-shaded area, swimming facility or an air-conditioned building such as a shopping mall, grocery store, place of worship or public library.
□ Take cool showers or baths.
□ Prepare meals that don't need to be cooked in your oven.
□ Block sunlight by opening awnings, and closing curtains and blinds during the day.
□ Avoid sun exposure - shade yourself by wearing a wide-brimmed, breathable hat or using an umbrella.
□ If you are taking medication or have an existing health condition, ask your doctor or pharmacist if heat exposure increases your health risk and follow their advice.
□ If you have an air conditioner with a thermostat, keep it set to somewhere between 22ºC (72ºF) and 26ºC (79ºF), which will reduce your energy costs and provide you with needed relief.
□ If you have a window air conditioner, cool only one room where you can go for heat relief.
□ Frequently visit friend, neighbours, and elderly family members, especially those who are chronically ill, to make sure they are cool and hydrated.
□ Reschedule or plan outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day
