(SPF 15)

• Cars get very hot inside, even if the windowsare ‘cracked’ or open. Never leave children or petsalone in cars. Call 911 if you see a child or pet in acar alone

• Check on those at risk for heat-related illness, 
like those who are sick or have chronic condi-
tions, older adults, pregnant women, children, 
those who live alone, pets, and outdoor work-ers 
and athletes

If you don’t have air conditioning, follow these tips:

• Stay hydrated and don’t wait until you’rethirsty to drink water

• Take cool showers or baths

• Use your stove and oven less to avoid making 
your home hotter

• Visit a library, cooling center, shopping mall,
or other air-conditioned space. If you need help 
finding a cool space, call 211.

Heat-Related Illness

 It’s important to know how to recognize and help 
someone who is experiencing a heat-related ill-ness. 
Call 911 right away if you see these symptoms: high 
body temperature (103°F or higher), diz-ziness, nausea, 
passing out, headache, fast &strong pulse, confusion, 
and hot, red, dry, or damp skin.

 Watch out for each other. Everyone should take 
precautions to prevent heat-related illness, but there 
are groups more vulnerable to heat. Check on those 
who are sick or have chronic conditions, older adults, 
pregnant people, children, those who live alone, pets, 
and outdoor workers and athletes.

 “Heat causes more deaths in the U.S. annually 
than floods, storms, and lightning combined. Those 
most likely to get ill during the heat include older 
adults, young children, outdoor workers, athletes, 
and individuals with chronic medical conditions,” 
said Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, Los Angeles County 
Health Officer. If you or someone around you experiences 
symptoms of heat stroke or heat exhaustion, 
such as dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, confusion, 
or passing out, seek medical help immediately.”
