Staying Safe During a Heatwave**

**Avatar 1:** "Wow, it’s scorching outside! How can we stay safe in this heatwave?" **Avatar 2:** "Great question! Heatwaves can be dangerous, but there are simple steps we can take to protect ourselves and others." **Avatar 2:** "First, keep your body cool and hydrated. Drink at least 2-3 liters of water a day—that’s about a cup every hour!" **Avatar 1:** "Got it! And I should avoid alcohol and too much caffeine, right?" **Avatar 2:** "Exactly! Also, wear light, loose clothing, take cool showers, and use damp cloths to cool your skin." **Avatar 1:** "How do we keep our homes from turning into ovens?" **Avatar 2:** "Close windows and blinds during the day to block sunlight. Open them at night to let cooler air in. And if you have AC, set it to 27°C—it’s more efficient!" **Avatar 1:** "What about fans?" **Avatar 2:** "Fans help below 40°C, but above that, they just blow hot air. Stay in the shade—it’s much cooler than direct sun!" **Avatar 1:** "What about kids and older adults? They’re more at risk, right?" **Avatar 2:** "Yes! Never leave children or pets in parked cars—even for a minute! Dress kids in light clothes, use sunscreen, and keep strollers cool with a damp cloth." **Avatar 1:** "And we should check on elderly neighbors or those with health conditions?" **Avatar 2:** "Absolutely! A quick call or visit can save lives." **Avatar 1:** "Uh-oh… I feel dizzy and nauseous… What do I do?" **Avatar 2:** "Act fast! Heatstroke is deadly. Move to a cool place, use wet cloths to cool down, and call emergency services immediately!" **Avatar 1:** "Got it—no aspirin or paracetamol, right?" **Avatar 2:** "Correct! Just cool the person down and wait for help." **Avatar 2:** "Remember: Stay cool, drink water, avoid the hottest hours, and look out for each other!" **Avatar 1:** "Thanks! Now I’m ready to beat the heat safely!"
