How to Handle the Heat

It's gonna be a scorcher

How to handle the heat
The elderly, babies, overweight and chronically ill people are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.

Beat the heat safely with these tips:

Drink water: Cool water is best. Don't wait until you're thirsty. If working hard or exercising in the heat, sip 2 to 4 glasses of water every hour. Avoid drinks containing alcohol, caffeine or a lot of sugar. Put out extra water for pets. Don't take salt tablets unless your doctor tells you to do so. If you take water pills, ask your doctor how much you should drink in hot weather.

Slow down: Cut back on strenuous activity, and take frequent rest breaks in the shade.

Dress light: Lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing helps your body cool off.

Eat light: Choose cool, easy-to-digest foods such as fruit and salads.

Stay indoors in an air-conditioned place, such as a movie theater or shopping mall. At home, pull curtains or shades to keep rooms cool. Use window stops to prevent children from falling out, and move fans out of their reach. Check railings for safety on decks and porches.

NEVER leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle.

Use sunscreen, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and try to limit your outside time to cooler morning and evening hours.

Visit elderly neighbors and watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Warning signs of heat stroke vary but may include:
* An extremely high body temperature (above 103 degrees.)
* Red, hot, and dry skin (no sweating.)
* Rapid, strong pulse.
* Throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion or unconsciousness.

Warning signs of heat exhaustion include:
* Heavy sweating.
* Paleness.
* Muscle cramps.
* Fatigue, weakness, dizziness.
* Headache, fainting, nausea or vomiting.

Side Note:
Verizon's copper cutoff traps customers, hampers rivals: 如果加入 Verizon 的 FiOS 光纖網路, 家裡到電話到轉接機間的傳統銅線可能會被抽換成光纖. 之後將無法降級至 DSL. 更麻煩的是光纖在停電時是無法使用的. 因此家內的電話將無法使用. 傳統銅線的電話在停電時還是有很大的機會可以繼續使用.
