✈️🚄 Travelling to an event or mass gathering in hot weather? ☀️ Plan ahead to protect your health! Before you go: 🌡️ Check the local heat forecast Pack wisely: 💧 Refillable water bottle 👒 Light clothing and a hat 🧴 Sunscreen 💊 Any medicines you take regularly 🧊 If coming from a cooler climate, allow at least a few days for your body to adjust before intense activity. The risk of falling sick due to excess heat is highest during the first few days. 📍When you get to the event, locate the nearest drinking water point, cooling area, and first aid post. ⏸ Slow down if you feel hot or tired. 🚨 Follow staff and organizer instructions if heat becomes dangerous.
