• Drink plenty of fluids.

Resting frequently when you are outside will give your body a chance to recover from heat. / • Do not keep children or pets in cars with windows rolled up. Temperatures inside a car with closed (or partially opened ) windows can reach up to 150 degrees quickly, resulting in heat stroke or death.
• Use the “buddy system if your working outside. Heat related illnesses can cause confusion. Therefore, make sure someone else knows of your plans.
