Beware of Heat Stroke
With the summer vacation approaching, you may be making plans to organize outdoor activities for your
children. The Department of Health would like to share with you a few tips to help guard against the hot
and humid weather. You are advised to pay attention to the weather warning issued by the Hong Kong
Observatory and take the following measures:
Wear light-coloured, loose and air permeable clothing to reduce heat absorption and promote heat Bring and drink plenty of fluid to prevent dehydration. Avoid drinks containing caffeine or alcohol because they will speed up water loss from the body Do not engage in prolonged activities such as hiking or trekking under extremely hot weather. Perform outdoor activities in the morning or evening, if possible. Choose an indoor venue with good ventilation by opening all windows and using fan or Re-schedule your work to cooler times of the day. If you must work in a hot environment, introduce shading in the work area where practicable, then start slowly and pick up the pace gradually.
