Stay cool and safe this summer What to do 1. Watch the weather - plan to stay out of the heat on hot days. 2. Get ready! Don't wait until it's a hot day. Check your air conditioner and fans work now. 3. Keep enough food in your fridge and cupboard to last through a few hot days so you don't need to go to the shops. 4. On hot days, stay out of the heat. If your home is hot, you may be cooler at your local library, cinema or shopping centre - just be careful getting there! Try to take trains or buses or drive rather than walking. 5. Drink lots of water. 6. If you feel ill from the heat, call Triple Zero - 000 for help.
