Tips to keep people safe when exercising or recreating outdoors, including:

☀️ wearing loose, light-weight, and light-colored clothing,
☀️ drinking more water than usual and not waiting until they’re thirsty to hydrate,
☀️ pacing themselves during physical activity,
☀️ taking frequent breaks in air conditioning and shade, and
☀️ knowing the signs of heat-related illness.

Dangers remain even after the skies turn blue. This is NOT the time to put your guard down. Be very careful with portable generators: carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the leading causes of death in areas dealing with power outages. Never use a generator inside your home or garage, even if doors and windows are open. Only use generators outside, more than 20 feet away from your home, doors, and windows.
