Carry an umbrella, or top your outfit with a hat, to protect yourself from the sun's rays. Drink up. Bring plenty of water or a sports drink, which can replace sodium lost from sweating. Avoid caffeine. As soon as you notice any signs of heat exhaustion: move to a cool or shaded area and lie down. apply cool water to skin or clothing. loosen or remove clothing. drink cool water or rehydration fluids.
