*The heatstroke warning alert is jointly announced by the Ministry of the Environment and the Japan Meteorological Agency with the aim of preventing heatstroke, and is information to call for “awareness” of the heat. The standard for announcing a heatstroke alert is the “heat index (WBGT)”. The heat index is an index that expresses the severity of the heat, incorporating “temperature,” “humidity,” and “radiant heat (heat emitted from the ground, buildings, and bodies, which is emitted from hot objects in large amounts).” If this heat index is predicted to be “33” or higher at any point in the 58 prefectural forecast areas that divide the country, a heatstroke alert will be issued. In places where a heat stroke alert has been issued, please be more thorough than usual in your usual heat stroke countermeasures.
Actions to be taken when a heatstroke alert is announced
When a heatstroke alert is announced, there are five things you should do to avoid heatstroke.
① Avoid going out as much as possible and avoid the heat. Avoiding heat is the most important way to prevent heat stroke. Avoid non-essential outings as much as possible. Indoors, regardless of the time of day or night, use an air conditioner to adjust the temperature of the room.
② As a general rule, exercise outdoors or indoors without an air conditioner should be canceled or postponed.
③ Let’s practice heat stroke prevention actions more than usual. Before you get thirsty, drink water frequently and wear cool clothes as much as possible.
④ Let’s talk to people who are at high risk of heat stroke. Elderly people, children, people with chronic diseases, obesity, and people with disabilities are more susceptible to heatstroke, so people around them say, “Use the air conditioner even at night,” and “Try to drink water frequently.” Please call
⑤ Check the heat index (WBGT). The heat index varies greatly depending on the time of day and location. Please check the heat stroke prevention information site of the Ministry of the Environment and use the heat index as a guideline for your actions.
