Columbus Public Health​ reminds residents of ways to stay healthy and safe in hot weather:
·  Drink plenty of water – do not wait until you are thirsty.
·  Stay inside in air conditioning whenever possible.  If you do not have an air conditioner, use movie theatres, malls, libraries and other public places that are cool.
·  Avoid beverages with alcohol, caffeine and sugar because they will dehydrate you.
·  Eat light meals.
·  Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and a hat.
·  Stay in the shade.
·  Limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours.
