Tips for Staying Safe During Summer Heat in Country Club Hills

As temperatures rise this summer, the Country Club Hills health department wants to remind all residents to take heat safety seriously. Key tips: drink water consistently throughout the day. Avoid strenuous outdoor activity between 10am and 4pm. Check on elderly neighbors and family members who live alone. Never leave children or pets in a parked car. Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. If you do not have air conditioning, visit one of the city's designated cooling centers — locations are listed on the city website. Signs of heat stroke include confusion and a body temperature above 104 degrees F. Call 911 immediately if this occurs.
