VTCNA Health Tips: Summer Heat Management

– Drink, drink, hydrate.
– Stay out of the direct sun at the middle of the day if possible.
– Use sunscreen.
– Take breaks from activity in the heat.
– Cool off when needed. There are lakes, rivers, hoses, water to pour over your head or each other. Or, get inside with a fan.
– Please, watch out for each other. Check on family, friends, neighbors – especially shut-ins.
– Don’t forget pets. Same rules apply to our furry friends.

Have a nice summer, and take care of yourselves. You are immeasurably important!
