Suggestions for preventing heat stroke include:
1.Drink plenty of water or other cool, non-alcoholic fluids. (Check with your doctor if you are on limited fluids or fluid pills.)
2.Avoid drinking extremely cold liquids as they can cause stomach cramps.
3.Avoid heavy exertion. Reduce physical activity and avoid vigorous exercise in hot weather. If activity is unavoidable, try to schedule activity for the cooler part of the day and rest often. Whenever possible, stay indoors or in the shade.
4.Stay cool and keep air circulating around you. Use air conditioning if possible. If you don’t have air conditioning, consider visiting an air-conditioned shopping center or public library.
5.Eat regular, light meals.
6.Wear lightweight clothing.
7.Take a cool shower, bath or sponge bath.
8.Never leave anyone or pets in a closed parked car.
9.Although any one at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others. Check regularly on:
-Infants and young children
-People aged 65 or older
-People who have a mental illness
-Those who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure

10.Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closely watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Infants and young children, of course, need much more frequent watching.
