Hazard Preparedness
Find Shade
Prevent dangerous heatstroke and conserve energy by actively seeking shade during the hottest parts of the desert day. Utilize natural formations (rocks, trees) or create makeshift shade, and plan strenuous activity for cooler times.
- Actively seek out natural shade sources such as cliffs, large boulders, caves, or the north side of dense vegetation during the hottest part of the day (typically late morning to late afternoon).
- If natural shade is unavailable, use a tarp, emergency blanket, or clothing to create artificial shade.
- Rest in the shade to conserve energy and water.
