Hot Tips, Cont. from page 10 mine the heat index.
• In summer, humidity makes it feel hotter. If the tem- perature is 90 degrees and the relative humidity is 80 per- cent, it will feel like it is 113 degrees. Your body will react to the 113 degree temperature.
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO BEAT THE HEAT?
Some common sense tips for handling the heat include the following:
• Drink lots of water and natural juices (avoid alcoholic beverages, coffees and colas)
• Avoid going out into blazing heat whenever possible
• Avoid or minimize physical exertion
• Keep shades drawn and blinds closed, but windows slightly open
• Do not place tin foil over your windows as the room temperature will rise
• Keep electric lights off or turned down
• Take frequent cool baths or showers and use cool tow- els
• Remain in air conditioning either at home or at a cool- ing center (1-2 hours in air conditioning can prevent a per- son from becoming ill)
• Wear loose clothing
• Do not eat heavy meals (eat small meals and eat more often)
• Avoid using cooking ovens
• Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician
• If you are taking medications, check with your pharma- cist or your doctor on any side effects that heat may con- tribute to
• Check on family members, friends and neighbors
• Take the heat seriously; do not ignore danger signs like nausea, dizziness and fatigue
If you or anyone you know needs medical attention, call 911 or the local Police Department immediately.
IDoA and local Area Agencies on Aging (AAA’s) work hand-in-hand to assist older persons at risk. During heat emergencies, communities are involved in door-to-door outreach; senior centers, adult day care sites and other fa- miliar public buildings throughout communities are used as cooling centers. Information and assistance is available on an ongoing basis through the network of local agen- cies serving older persons where you live.
