SUMMER IS HERE!

 

As we know, the summer season can bring on heatwaves. When it comes to preparing for a heatwave, it can be really hard to store supplies. How do you store ice cubes when you don't have a freezer? According to the map, many of us will be experiencing a heatwave this summer.  What are you doing to survive a heatwave? Are you prepared?

 

When preparing for a heatwave, you should close all the windows in your home and draw the drapes, turn off all lights and other digital components that put out heat. Refrigerate and freeze water bottles, juices, prepare simple foods (salad, fruit, sandwiches, etc.) and drink plenty of water. Once the sun goes down, open windows to allow cooler air to pass through your home. Check out the Medicine Net website for Tips on How To Survive a Heatwave.
