A symposium on heat stroke countermeasures was held, and experts explained the measures to be taken for each situation such as schools and disaster sites.
The symposium is held annually by the Ministry of the Environment, and about 1000 people participated online, and seven experts in emergency medicine and sports medicine gave lectures.
Of these, Professor Emeritus Yoshimitsu Inoue of Osaka International University said that children are more susceptible to temperature than adults due to their physique, and their sweating functions are not fully developed, and their faces turn red on hot days. He said that it is important to take a close look at whether or not you are sweating abnormally.
In addition, Professor Mayumi Sakamoto of the University of Hyogo Graduate School gave a lecture on countermeasures at disaster sites.
Since she finds it difficult to use the toilet in the shelter, she refrains from water, so she emphasizes the maintenance of the toilet and uses a movable air conditioner in the shelter without air conditioning, so that even one place is a cool space. I was calling to secure.
Record heat has continued since the end of last month, and it is expected that the temperature will continue to be higher than normal, and the Ministry of the Environment will take sufficient measures against heat stroke by utilizing the "heat index" and "heat stroke warning alert". I am calling.
