Civil Defense alerts on sunstroke risks
The National Civil Protection Department warns of the dangers of heatstroke, which occurs when the body temperature rises significantly due to direct sun exposure or extended periods of high temperatures, potentially threatening life. Severe symptoms include heavy sweating, hot and dry skin, elevated body temperature, dizziness, nausea, headache, blurred vision or loss of consciousness, and rapid heartbeat. It is advised to move the affected person to a cool, shaded place, remove excess clothing, cool the body with water or cold compresses, and seek immediate medical assistance. To prevent heatstroke, it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., wear a hat and sunglasses, dress in light-colored and lightweight clothing, drink water regularly, and pay special attention to protecting the elderly and children from these risks.
