Hot weather can be hard for seniors. As temperatures rise, don't forget to check in on older friends, family and neighbours. A simple call or a visit can make a huge difference in helping keep them safe this summer. Some easy tips you can share are:
- Drink plenty of water (check with a doctor if they have been told to drink less fluid)
- Stay indoors during peak heat times, use air conditioning/fans and keep blinds/curtains closed
- Use cool packs, a spray bottle or a damp cloth to cool down
- Ask their doctor how heat might affect their health and the medicines they take
- Keep their phone charged and nearby in case help is needed

Your small actions can help keep seniors safe, connected and comfortable this summer. Find more tips: health.nsw.gov.au/beattheheat

Keep your baby cool this summer. Babies and young children can get too hot and dehydrate quickly. Give them plenty of water or extra milk feeds and keep them out of the heat on very hot days. Prams can become hot:
· Do not leave your baby to sleep in a pram in hot weather as airflow is restricted.
· Never cover a pram with a dry wrap or blanket because these can restrict airflow and increase the pram’s temperature to dangerous levels.

Instead, if you need to use your pram on a hot day, you can:
· Use the pram's canopy to provide shade to your child while still allowing airflow.
· Remove the back panel from a pram to help with airflow.
· Partly cover the pram with a wet and breathable cloth like muslin, making sure air can flow through. The movement of air through the wet cloth helps to cool the air inside the pram.
· Make sure to keep the cloth wet at all times and keep an eye on your child while they are in the pram. Find tips to keep your baby cool and safe this summer: heath.nsw.gov.au/beatheheat

- that the fan or air conditioner is working well.
- there are ice trays or cool packs in the freezer.
- medicines are stored at the right temperature.
- You drink lots of water. But if a doctor has told you to drink less water, check with them first.
- Remember to wear loose, light clothes, a hat and sunscreen
- Ensure you have a plan to call someone or to go somewhere if the heat is too much.
