The heat is on across Northern Ohio!

Here are a few tips to beat the heat on days like this:

• Limit your outdoor activities or exercise during the hottest parts of the day.

• Drink water to stay hydrated! Avoid sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks, which are dehydrating.

• Spend time in an air-conditioned place like a public library or a shopping mall.

Summertime is the perfect time to get involved in your community with the American Red Cross!

In Northern Ohio, you will be the “hands and heart” of our mission by alleviating human suffering in the face of emergencies. Volunteers assist individuals with comfort, care, and hope in the community, leading the Red Cross mission in preparedness, response and recovery and helping residents affected by fires, floods, storms, and other disasters. You can also make a significant contribution volunteering at a local blood drive, transporting lifesaving blood collection and deliveries, and supporting members of the military and their family.

Visit redcross.org/volunteer to see all of the opportunities where you can put your skills to work for good in your community!
