Avoid exertion or exercise, especially during the hottest part of the day. If traveling, allow 2 to 3 weeks in an unusually hot climate before attempting any type of exertion. When outside, wear a hat and loose clothing; when indoors, remove as much clothing as needed to be comfortable. Take a tepid bath or shower.
What should you do during hyperthermia?
Take cool-down breaks in the shade or in an air-conditioned environment. If you don't need to be outside in extreme heat, stay indoors. Stay well hydrated. Drink water or drinks containing electrolytes, such as Gatorade or Powerade, every 15 to 20 minutes when you're active in the heat.
What is the safety protocol after hypothermia?
Use layers of dry blankets or coats to warm the person. Cover the person's head, leaving only the face exposed. Insulate the person's body from the cold ground. If you're outside, lay the person on his or her back on a blanket or other warm surface.
