Heat Health Alert

Date Added: 19/07/2021

A heat-health alert has been issued by Public Health England. The top ways for staying safe during a heatwave are to:
. look out for those who may struggle to keep themselves cool and hydrated – older people, those with underlying conditions and those who live alone are particularly at risk
. stay cool indoors: many of us may need to stay safe at home this summer so know how to keep your home cool
. close curtains on rooms that face the sun to keep indoor spaces cooler and remember it may be cooler outdoors than indoors
. use cool spaces considerately if going outdoors, and wash your hands regularly
. drink plenty of fluids and avoid excess alcohol
. never leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle, especially infants, young children or animals
. try to keep out of the sun between 11am to 3pm, when the UV rays are strongest
. walk in the shade, apply sunscreen and wear a wide-brimmed hat, if you have to go out in the heat
. avoid physical exertion in the hottest parts of the day
. make sure you take water with you, if you are travelling
. take care and follow local safety advice if you are going into open water to cool down – during warm weather going for a swim can provide much welcomed relief
. remember that while coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions are in place, you will need to follow any additional government guidance to use public spaces safely
