As temperatures approach 100 degrees this weekend, it is important to practice heat safety techniques while outdoors working on home projects, gardening or hiking in Palo Duro Canyon.
To reduce your chance of heat-related illness, you should take regular breaks from being outdoors, drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen, hats and light colored clothes and make sure you have a cellphone with you in case of an emergency.
If you or someone around you experiences symptoms of a heatstroke, call 9-1-1 immediately and take an ambulance to the hospital.
