Precautionary/preparedness actions...
If you plan to be outside... avoid prolonged exposure or strenuous physical activity. Your body can lose up to a gallon of water an hour through perspiration. Drink plenty of fluids well in advance of going outdoors and while outside to avoid dehydration. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages can increase the rate of water loss in your body... increasing the risk of heat exhaustion or stroke. Wear lightweight... light-colored... loose- fitting clothing. Wear a hat to shield yourself from the sun... and use a sunscreen to reduce possible sunburn.
