Monday, May 13, 2013 at 07:20AM National Heat Awareness Day is May 24th this year. Extreme heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States. The Parma Fire Department would like to give some tips to help citizens recognize some of the signs of heat related injuries. Heat Cramp, Heat Exhaustion, and Heat Stroke are some of the common injuries that can occur. Knowing the differences between these conditions is critical when determining the need for medical care.
Here are several measures that individuals can take to stay safe and beat the H.E.A.T. this summer.
Hydrate. Whether you feel thirsty or not, drink plenty of water to avoid becoming dehydrated, especially when working or exercising outside.
Educate yourself. Know your local weather, temperature, and heat index forecasts. Take actions to stay cool and safe when the temperatures hits eighty-five degrees or the heat index is ninety degrees. Know the warning signs of heat illness and how you can stay cool.
Act quickly when a heat illness is suspected. Seek medical attention immediately for any of these warning signs: cramping, rapid pulse, heavy sweating, hot red skin, dizziness, confusion, nausea, vomiting.
Take it easy. Anyone working or exercising outdoors should avoid overexertion, especially between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Take hourly breaks in the shade or in air conditioning.
