: All About Hypothermia!
What is hypothermia? Hypothermia is when your body loses heat faster than it can produce, resulting in your body pressure dropping dangerously low.
How to Prevent Hypothermia:
1.) Stay dry. Always choose waterproof outer layers when available. If your clothing gets wet, change as quickly as possible, as wet clothing increases heat loss.
2.) Keep Indoor Spaces Warm. Use blankets and bedding at night to keep your body warm. Set your home heating systems to a safe temperature as you sleep.
3.) Provide warmth. Offer warm beverages to people who have been outside, slowly warming their body and extremities to avoid causing shock.
