Officials emphasize that symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. They recommend that those experiencing these symptoms should move to a cooler area, loosen clothing, and sip cool water. If symptoms do not improve or if someone appears to be suffering from a heat-related emergency, the advice is to call 911 immediately.

The advisory also outlines key signs of heat stroke, which include confusion, dizziness, and loss of consciousness.
