Hot Weather Safety Tips

Posted by Jean Peikert, RN on June 15, 2020

Hot weather can be dangerous for all ages. Here are a few tips to help prevent problems from heat.

Stay out of the hot sun whenever you can and wear loose, light colored clothes. Wait until the sun is going down or early morning when it’s cooler to go for a run or yard work that is demanding.

Drink plenty of cool water, clear juices, or other liquids.

Problems caused by heat are dehydration or heat stroke which is very dangerous.

Father, I thank you that no one is excluded from Your great love. Teach each of us to truly love one another, as You have so generously loved us.

About the Author

Jean Peikert, RN

I function as a part of the pastoral ministry team serving the congregation and the community by bringing an approach of wellness, wholeness and prevention.  

This includes blood pressure screening at church and in the community; visits to homes, hospitals and nursing homes; and the distribution of communion to people unable to attend church. Follow-up visits are also done after hospitalizations for people who need an advocate and for people with terminal illnesses.

Education is also a part of the ministry. CPR classes are periodically available, articles of health care issues in Faith communications and handouts are available in the Parish Nurse Office.
