Plan. Prepare. Protect. Natural Disaster Resource Guide. Extreme Heat Safety Tips: Keeping Your Child Safe. Hello, summer! Summer may be the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with your children. However, when temperatures are more hot or humid than normal, take extra precautions. Follow these tips: never leave your child in a parked car, rolling windows down isn’t enough; dress your kid in loose, lightweight, and light-colored clothing; make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids, and limit sugar; remember protective gear, such as hats, to prevent sunburn; and seek medical care immediately if your child shows signs of heat-related illness. Important! Sunscreen is not recommended for babies who are 6 months old or younger. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration suggests keeping infants out of the sun during mid-day and using protective clothing if they have to be in the sun.

(U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Alexi Bosarge)

Dear Doc: I consider myself pretty lucky. I'm in my late 20s and I've never had any eye problems to speak of. I have 20/20 vision and I've never worn glasses. But...the Air Force tells me to protect my eyes and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Do you know anyone who can give me some solid advice on the best options for eye protection? What should I be wearing at work or on the flight line? What should I be wearing out in the sun? I know I have a lot of questions, but I just want to protect myself as best as possible. Thanks in advance, Doc! -Eye Need Answers
