Health officials recommend staying out of the sun as much as possible in extreme heat and keeping your space ventilated with a fan or air conditioner.
The Center for Elders’ Independence based in Oakland says everyone, especially seniors, should be monitored, hydrated and moved to a cooler space.
"Make sure people get enough water. Really encourage water drinking. The transition from heat exhaustion to heat stroke, the really serious stuff, often occurs when people are slightly dehydrated. Don’t have enough water," said Dr. James Mittelberger, Chief Medical Officer for the Center for Elders’ Independence.
