HOT" SUMMER TIPS...
By Jeanne Larsen, Safety Committee
"HOT TIPS" for the upcoming summer weather. We all know it's com
ing. It's just a matter of what days we're going to have it and although
we can not predict which days they will be, we want to be prepared!
Keep water, juice, and thirst quenchers on hand. A jug of cool water
and wash cloth for cooling down the body is good. The other day I saw a
little plastic container to put water in with a fan attached to it that
would work real well for helping to keep cool. Be creative, it's amazing
what we can come up with.
If transporting Elders, kids, or animals, please make sure they have
water readily available to them. They could easily have a heat stroke or
encounter heat exhaustion. Check with the Wellness staff for the symp
toms of these problems or, better yet, don't put them in a position where
it's necessary to know the symptoms.
