Safety information

What to do in a heat wave

Three things first, then what to do before, during and after, and how to tell heat stroke. From FEMA’s Ready.gov and the US National Weather Service.

For this reportSevere Weather · Split

  1. Never leave anyone in a car

    Not a child, not an older person, not a pet, not even for a minute: a closed car heats up dangerously fast.

    Ready.gov · NWS
  2. Stay cool and drink

    Spend the hottest hours somewhere cool, drink water regularly, avoid hard effort in the middle of the day.

    Ready.gov
  3. Check on others

    Older people, people living alone, the sick and small children are the most at risk. Call or visit them.

    Ready.gov

Before, during, after. Here it is “after”.

Before · When heat is forecast

  • Find a cool place

    Air-conditioned public places near you: libraries, shopping centres, cooling centres.

  • Keep the house cool

    Shutters and curtains closed in the sun; a fan alone is not enough in great heat.

  • Learn the signs

    Of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (see below).

Ready.gov (FEMA)

During · In the hottest hours

  • Light clothes

    Loose, light and light-coloured.

  • Cool showers

    Or a cool bath, to bring your temperature down.

  • Water and shade for animals

    Pets suffer heat as we do.

  • Effort early or late

    Not in the middle of the day.

Ready.gov (FEMA)

After · When the heat breaks

  • Keep drinking

    Recovery takes a day or two.

  • Keep checking

    On the people at risk around you.

Questions people ask

How do I recognise heat stroke?

A very high body temperature, hot and dry skin, a fast pulse, confusion or fainting. Call the emergency number, move the person somewhere cool and cool them with wet cloths. Source: Ready.gov (FEMA).

And heat exhaustion?

Heavy sweating, cramps, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea. Move somewhere cool, loosen clothes, sip water; get help if it lasts over an hour or gets worse. Source: Ready.gov (FEMA).

Is a fan enough?

Not in great heat: it moves hot air. Cool places, cool showers and water are what help. Source: Ready.gov (FEMA).
