Take a moment to recognize the warning signs of heatstroke:
- High body temperature
- Headache or nausea
- Hot, dry skin
- Slurred speech
- Rapid, strong pulse
- Confusion or unconsciousness

Heatstroke is a medical emergency, and it can happen faster than you think. Stay safe by drinking water often, taking breaks in the shade or air conditioning, and checking on kids, older adults and pets. If you suspect heatstroke, call 911 and move to a cooler place.

Did you know carbon monoxide detectors have different beep patterns?

Learn what yours is trying to tell you: 4 beeps and a pause means there is CO in the air, and you should seek fresh air immediately; 1 beep every minute means batteries are low; and 5 beeps every minute means you need a new one.
