• Identify cool zones inside and outside of homes (like community centres and libraries);
• Place a damp towel on pets;
• Drink plenty of water even when you don’t feel thirsty;
• Apply ice packs and cool, damp cloths to your wrists and neck;
• Use sunscreen;
• Wear a hat to protect from sun;
• If able, check on others, especially those who live alone or are most at risk;
• Study inside an air-conditioned building.
