During a heatwave, everyone needs to take extra care of themselves. Strong sunlight, heat wave and rising temperature can sometimes prove dangerous for those working outside. If your husband also stays in the field all day due to work or has to travel a lot on bike or has to stay in the sun for a long time, then even a little carelessness with health can prove to be very harmful.

In such a situation, it is important that they keep a small heatwave emergency kit with them. This is not just a bag of goods, but also an easy way to protect their health in summer. So let us know what things are important to keep in the heatwave emergency kit-

ORS and Electrolyte Powder

ORS and electrolyte powder are very important to prevent dehydration in summer.

In summer, when a person stays outside the whole day, the body starts losing water and minerals through sweat. When the body sweats continuously, one starts feeling weakness, dizziness and fatigue. Therefore, always keep ORS or electrolyte powder in your heatwave emergency kit. If needed, drinking it mixed with water will provide great relief.

Due to working whole day in summer, a person often forgets to drink water or when he feels thirsty, he does not find water anywhere nearby. Therefore, it would be better to include a good quality large water bottle or insulated flask in their bag, so that the water remains cold for a longer period. If you want, you can also keep fennel water or coconut water in it for cooling.

Every person working in the field should have a cotton towel. When it is soaked in water and placed on the neck, it provides instant coolness to the body. Apart from this, it also helps in wiping away sweat.

Just as it is important to carry a cotton towel while going out in summer, similarly one should also carry a cap or a light scarf.

In such a situation, a light cap or cotton scarf not only protects from the sun but also provides a lot of comfort while working outside.

Be sure to keep healthy snacks
