Relief from the Heat

Community Action Partnership (CAP) of Riverside County is coordinating Cool Centers to provide drop-in sites for vulnerable individuals, seniors, the disabled, and others in need of temporary relief from the heat. CAP provides these tips in the effort to beat the heat: • Drink plenty of water. • Avoid alcohol and caffeine. • Wear a wide-brimmed hat, or use an umbrella for shade. • Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose clothing. • Slow down—rest in the shade or a cool place when possible. • Never leave a child, elderly or disabled person, or even an animal alone in a vehicle. It is also suggested to: • Check on your friends and neighbors who are elderly or have medical conditions or are at higher risk for problems when it is very hot • If you do not have an air conditioner, use a fan, make sure your windows are open and visit a cool center. • Take a cool shower or bath. • When it is hotter than 90 degrees, visit friends who have air conditioning in their home or someplace cool like a mall, a library or a senior center. The heat can particularly affect those who have certain medical conditions, take medication for high blood pressure, have a mental health condition, have been using drugs or alcohol, or have had a previous heat-related illness. For Cool Center locations, hours and tips on how to protect yourself from heat-related illnesses, please call the Summer Energy Crisis Hotline at 888- 636-8676, TTY 951-955-5126 anytime from Monday to Friday 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., or call 2-1-1 24 hours a day, or visit www.capriverside.org.
