An illustration showing ways to recognize and treat heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. If someone is experiencing heat exhaustion, move them to a cooler area, loosen clothing, sip cool water, and seek medical help if symptoms don't improve. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke. Symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, dizziness, and becoming unconscious. If someone is experiencing heat stroke, call 911, move them to a cooler area, loosen their clothing and remove extra layers, and cool them with water or ice. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed!"

A hiker standing at the top of a mountain. A quote from Sabrina of Lake Tahoe, CA, 1991 says, "I decided to hike Mt. Tallac, 10 miles, often running. I chose to hike alone, without water, and I did not check the weather. When I returned I was clammy, shaking, ash gray, and had a splitting headache and felt nauseous. It took over a day to recover. Don't be lazy. Always have plenty of water."

An adult checking on a child in the backseat of a car. The text says, “Don’t forget anyone in a hot car. Everyone operates on auto-pilot once in a while. Have a plan! Place a bag or other item in the backseat to remind you of passengers after you park. Place a stuffed animal in the front seat as a reminder to check for passengers. Consider additional methods, such as phone alarms, partner/buddy check-ins, or built-in car reminder systems.”
