If you see people, espechally seniors, that seem fainting, disoriented, dizzy or frightened:
They may suffer a [light] #heatstroke, #hyperthermia or suffer from #dehydration.
If concious offer them a comfy seat in the shade and some cool [not ice-cold, but tap-cold] non-sparkling water.
A lot of seniors drink way too much and such simple remediations can help avoid the need to call an ambulance!
Thanks for sharing!
