๐ฅ Stay Safe in This Weekโs Extreme Heat ๐ฅ
Queensland is experiencing a heatwave, and itโs important to look after yourself and your family over the next few days.
Here are some simple ways to stay safe:
๐ง Stay Hydrated
Sip water regularly, even if you donโt feel thirsty. Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration.
๐ก๏ธ Keep Cool
Stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day. Use fans or air-conditioning where possible, or visit a cool public place if needed.
๐งด Protect Your Skin
If youโre outdoors, use sunscreen, wear a hat, and choose light, breathable clothing.
๐ Never Leave Kids or Pets in Cars
Temperatures inside vehicles rise dangerously fast.
๐ถ Check on Others
Look in on neighbours, older family members, and anyone who may be vulnerable to heat stress.
Stay safe and look after one another โค๏ธ
