Stay in air-conditioned areas, if possible.
If air conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor, away from sunshine, and go to a publicly air-conditioned area in the hottest part of the day.
Have a buddy system where relatives, neighbors, or friends check on each other.
Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and wide-brimmed hat.
Wear sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher and apply 30 minutes before going outdoors. Re-apply regularly

Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty.

Eat small meals often.
Avoid foods that are high in protein or salt.
