00:00:00.607 --> 00:00:02.358
Heatstroke is an emergency.

00:00:02.698 --> 00:00:05.835
If someone exposed to heat becomes confused, loses

00:00:05.748 --> 00:00:09.778
coordination, has a seizure or collapses, call local

00:00:09.678 --> 00:00:13.175
emergency services immediately and begin cooling while help

00:00:13.075 --> 00:00:13.974
is arranged.

00:00:14.751 --> 00:00:17.182
Do not wait for a thermometer reading, and

00:00:17.095 --> 00:00:19.539
do not assume sweating rules heatstroke out.

00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.630
You do not need a perfect diagnosis before

00:00:22.543 --> 00:00:25.640
acting on serious warning signs or a worsening

00:00:25.554 --> 00:00:26.213
condition.

00:00:26.976 --> 00:00:29.140
Move the person to shade or a cool

00:00:29.054 --> 00:00:30.179
place if safe.

00:00:30.466 --> 00:00:33.736
Remove unnecessary outer clothing and cool their skin

00:00:33.636 --> 00:00:36.573
with water and fanning while following the emergency

00:00:36.487 --> 00:00:39.371
dispatcher's instructions and staying nearby.

00:00:40.168 --> 00:00:41.880
Do not give drinks to someone who is

00:00:41.793 --> 00:00:45.716
confused, unconscious or unable to swallow safely.

00:00:46.043 --> 00:00:49.739
Tell emergency services if consciousness or breathing changes,

00:00:49.879 --> 00:00:52.430
and follow their instructions rather than leaving to

00:00:52.343 --> 00:00:53.402
buy supplies.

00:00:54.169 --> 00:00:57.479
Milder heat-exhaustion symptoms still mean stopping activity

00:00:57.392 --> 00:00:58.731
and cooling down.

00:00:59.031 --> 00:01:02.474
Worsening or persistent symptoms need medical help.

00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:06.164
A thirty-minute reference is never permission to delay

00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:08.961
when emergency signs are already present.

00:01:09.708 --> 00:01:13.844
Prepare before outdoor activities: save the location, know

00:01:13.758 --> 00:01:16.202
how to call local help and keep a

00:01:16.115 --> 00:01:17.721
charged phone accessible.

00:01:18.033 --> 00:01:21.637
After a serious episode, follow clinical advice before

00:01:21.550 --> 00:01:23.249
returning to exercise again.
