🏡 Tips to stay cool at home: ✔️Cover your windows to keep sunlight out. ✔️Use exhaust fans in kitchen/bath ✔️Stay cool with water ✔️If it’s too hot at home, go to an air-conditioned place: movie theater, library or other cool place. Call @211info.bsky.social

An infographic titled "Stay Cool at Home" from www.publicalerts.org. The image provides tips for staying cool indoors during hot weather, with illustrations for each suggestion.

The main sections are:

"Sunlight makes it hotter indoors." with an illustration of a person spraying a window covering. The text suggests covering windows with aluminum foil, heat control window film, or cardboard.

"Some appliances create heat." with illustrations of a salad, sushi, watermelon, and a popsicle. The text advises using kitchen and bath exhaust fans, and eating cold foods or cooking outside.

"Stay cool with water." with an illustration of a person sitting in front of a fan with a spray bottle and a bowl of water. The text suggests not relying solely on a fan, putting a wet towel or ice pack on your neck, taking a cool shower or bath, and misting yourself with a spray bottle.

"Open windows when it's cooler outside than it is inside." with text advising to make a cross breeze by placing one fan blowing out and another blowing in.

At the bottom, a question mark icon is next to the text "If it is too hot at home, go to an air-conditioned place." and suggests visiting a mall, movie theater, library, or other cool place, and provides a phone number for help: 2-1-1 (866-698-6155).
