Unseasonably hot weather leaves even more people at risk in the Houston area.
Younger residents and newcomers have to be just as careful in the rising summer temperatures as older people.During warmer months, public health officials often ask for community members to keep an extra eye on fellow residents who are older than 65 and are considered one of the more vulnerable populations in extreme heat.
“A really simple and easy adjustment that makes a difference whether you are walking your dog, gardening or exercising, is starting this activity a little earlier in the day, taking a longer break midday so you can get out of the heat and then work later into the evening,” Persse said. “It’s just this sensation where you feel exhausted, you are hot, sweating and just tired,” Persse said. “That is a big red flag that you need to stop what you’re doing and get some air conditioning or liquids in your system.”
If a person is alone, but still coherent enough to feel the symptoms of heat exhaustion coming, Persse said they should always call 911, try to remain on the line and flag someone down – if on a trail or near-by – for assistance.
