Health reminder for the hot weather

The ACT Government is asking Canberrans to remember to make sure they drink enough water during the heat today. Keeping cool and hydrated is key to staying safe and healthy during hot summer days.

Most importantly, don't forget your elderly and frail relatives and neighbours, and pay special attention to the health needs of babies and young children who can be adversely affected by the heat.

The ACT Ambulance Service has attended several jobs so far today for heat related conditions.
