Stay Indoors 🏠: Stay in air-conditioned places as much as possible. If you don't have AC, visit public places like libraries or shopping malls. 3. Limit Outdoor Activities 🚫: If you must be outside, avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day. 4. Check on Vulnerable Neighbors 🧓: Ensure the elderly, children, and those with health conditions are safe and cool. 5. Never Leave Pets or Children in Cars 🚗: Temperatures can soar to dangerous levels within minutes. Remember, extreme heat can be dangerous.
