    Keep your cool when temperatures climb! Limit your exposure by staying inside in air-conditioned spaces. If you do go outside, wear light clothing, hydrate, and don't skip the sunscreen. For more heat safety tips visit: weather.gov/safety/heat
    Beat the Heat during outdoor events: Drink plenty of water and encourage those with you to do the same. Wear a hat and lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. Apply sunscreen. Use an electric or handheld fan, cooling towels, or other cooling technology. Take breaks under shade, in cooling tents, or misting stations. At the first signs of dizziness or weakness, look for medical assistance.
