• Stay out of the direct sun. Seek shaded or air conditioned areas such as libraries or malls when that South Carolina heat gets to be too much. And whenever possible, schedule outdoor events (public gatherings, sporting events) early in the morning when it’s cooler and the air quality is better.
• Drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol and caffeine.
• The elderly, small children, and people with chronic health conditions are more vulnerable to the heat. Call and check on friends, family, and neighbors.
• Anyone showing signs of heat stroke (altered mental state, not sweating, nausea) should seek medical attention immediately.
• Never swim alone! Even experienced or strong swimmers might need help, and especially do not leave young children or non-swimmers unattended.
• Encourage children and other non-swimmers to use life jackets or other approved flotation devices.
• Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and both UVA and UVB protection before you go outside, even on cloudy days, and reapply sunscreen after swimming or sweating or after staying outside for more than two hours.
