When outside in the summer heat, remember the following tips to stay cool and safe in the preserves:

• Stay hydrated—don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink.
• Stay out of the sun while it's at its hottest.
• Take frequent breaks in the shade.
• Pace yourself—it's not worth pushing yourself strenuously when it's hot outside.
• Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing. Light colors can help you stay cool, too.
• Don’t forget about your pets.
• Check local weather or news for updates.
