The alert system notifies those in charge early on and reminds them of important protective measures, especially for people who are particularly at risk.
How to Stay Healthy in the Heat
The following tips will help you stay healthy during a heat wave:

- Apply sunscreen before going outside
- Use the morning and evening hours for activities like shopping and exercise
- Drink plenty of fluids (water, unsweetened tea)
- Eat light meals whenever possible

- Wet towels, spray bottles, and cool showers or foot baths can help you cool down
- Keep windows closed and darken the room during the day
- Ventilate only at night or early in the morning
