How to stay safe during a heatwave

How to stay safe during a heatwave

Heatwaves are periods of unusually high temperatures that can last for several days. They pose serious risks to your health, especially for the elderly, children, pregnant women and people with chronic conditions.

Tips to cope with the heat:

  • Stay cool: use fans, air conditioning or seek cool spaces such as libraries and shopping centres or community facilities.
  • Drink plenty of water: stay hydrated and avoid alcohol or sugary drinks.
  • Limit outdoor activities: avoid the hottest parts of the day and take regular breaks in the shade.
  • Check on others: look after elderly relatives, neighbours and all those who might need extra help.
  • Manage your medication: follow your doctor’s advice and store medicines in a cool place.

Where to find reliable information

When to call Triple Zero (000)

Call Triple Zero (000) immediately if someone shows signs of heatstroke, including:

  • Nausea
  • Confusion or unconsciousness
  • Lack of sweating
  • High body temperatures (above 40°C)

Heatstroke is a medical emergency - act quickly.
