Extreme Heat Survival Guide
Prevent heat illness and make safer decisions during dangerous temperatures.
What is extreme heat?
Extreme heat becomes dangerous when the body cannot cool itself fast enough. Humidity, direct sun, medications, age, and outdoor work can all raise risk before a person feels seriously ill.
StormRift treats heat as a first-hour decision problem: get shade, reduce exertion, cool the body, check vulnerable people, and prepare water plus electrolytes before the hottest part of the day.
First-hour steps
- Move out of direct sun and reduce physical activity immediately.
- Drink water slowly and add electrolytes if sweating heavily.
- Cool the neck, armpits, and groin with wet cloths or cold packs.
- Check older adults, infants, outdoor workers, and pets.
- Call emergency services for confusion, fainting, or hot dry skin.
What NOT to do
Do not leave people or pets in parked cars.
Do not rely on alcohol or caffeine for hydration.
Do not use fans alone when indoor air is dangerously hot.
Do not ignore dizziness, confusion, or stopped sweating.

Move to shade or air conditioning, loosen clothing, cool the body with wet cloths, and sip water. Seek emergency help if symptoms worsen.

Older adults, infants, pregnant people, outdoor workers, athletes, people with chronic illness, and anyone without reliable cooling are at higher risk.
