Happy Summer!

As temperatures rise, it’s important to take extra care of your health and well-being. Here are some essential tips to help you stay safe and comfortable during the summer months:

1. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol, as they can dehydrate you.

2. Dress for the Weather
Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses can help protect you from the sun.

3. Stay Cool Indoors
Use fans or air conditioning to keep your home cool. If you don’t have AC, visit air-conditioned places like a library, senior center, or mall during the hottest part of the day.

4. Limit Outdoor Activities
Try to stay indoors between 10 AM and 4 PM when the sun is at its strongest. If you must go outside, take frequent breaks in the shade.

5. Watch for Signs of Heat-Related Illness
Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion: heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, or a rapid heartbeat. If you feel any of these, rest in a cool place and drink water immediately.

6. Check In Regularly
Stay in touch with family, friends, or neighbors—especially during a heatwave. A quick check-in can make a big difference.

7. Take Medications Safely
Some medications can increase your sensitivity to heat. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure your medications are safe in hot weather.

Remember: Your health comes first. Take it slow, stay cool, and enjoy your summer safely! 🌼

🚨 Illinois Seniors and families: Beware of DMV Text Scams

Scammers are targeting Illinois seniors with fraudulent text messages that appear to be from the "Illinois DMV." These messages often claim you are eligible for a rebate or owe toll fees or fines and include links to fake websites designed to steal your personal information.

⚠️ Key Warning Signs:

The message claims you owe a toll, fine or are eligible for a rebate.

The message asks for personal information like your Social Security number or bank details.

✅ What You Should Do:

Delete the message immediately.

Do not click on any links or provide any personal information.

If you've shared personal information, contact the Illinois Attorney General’s Identity Theft Hotline at 866-999-5630.

Remember, the Illinois Secretary of State's office will NEVER ask for personal information via text or email. Stay vigilant and protect yourself from these scams.

Be safe!
