Keeping Cool in a Heat Wave

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Available Media

Script

This is an important message from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In a heat wave, keeping your cool will keep you healthy. People and animals should stay indoors. If you don’t have air-conditioning, go to the mall or the library or a community relief shelter. Remember to drink more fluids, but avoid alcohol and high sugar drinks. When going out, wear light clothing and never leave any persons, especially infants or young children, or animals in a closed, parked vehicle. To learn more, call 800-CDC-INFO.
