With it being a holiday weekend, many people will be spending time outdoors. If you fall in this category, keep these safety rules in mind:

Drink plenty of water.
Wear light weight, light colored clothing.
Reduce strenuous activity, or reserve it until early or late in the day.
Make sure children and pets are never left unattended in vehicles! Temperatures inside can quickly reach lethal levels.
If possible, spend time in an air conditioned environment. Check with local officials to see if any cooling shelters have been opened in your area.
