A staff member advising Peachtree City residents summarized common signs of heat exhaustion and practical steps to reduce risk, urging people to hydrate, seek shade and call 911 if symptoms persist.

The presenter listed warning signs to watch for: "If you're very, very thirsty, more so than usual, or if you've drank a good bit of water, and you're still thirsty, that's a sign," and added that persistent sweating and dizziness on standing "could be heat exhaustion." The speaker also named fatigue, weakness and an increased heart rate as potential indicators.

The presenter offered straightforward prevention steps, emphasizing starting hydration early: "Hydration starts 24 hours prior to when you're gonna be out and about doing something." Other recommendations included wearing sunscreen and a hat, finding shade or using a fan to move air, and choosing loose clothing to improve airflow. On alcohol the presenter said: "Alcohol, dehydrates you and, it's something that if you're gonna be outside, especially again, if you're gonna be active, you need to try to avoid alcohol and save, save those, adult beverages for maybe later on in the afternoon and in the evening."

Finally, the presenter advised seeking emergency care when symptoms persist: "If you've done all of those things and you still feel like that, you need some attention, please reach out to 911, and we will come and assess you." The remarks were delivered as safety guidance rather than a policy action.

The guidance is intended as general public-health advice for people who will be outdoors or doing strenuous activity; callers were directed to 911 for assessment and response.
