Es esencial comunicar de inmediato lo que ocurre de manera sencilla y tranquilizadora. Mientras el problema se resuelve, usa ventiladores o equipos portátiles de enfriamiento en las áreas más importantes. Si es posible, habilita espacios más frescos para que las personas puedan moverse temporalmente. Asegúrate de que haya agua disponible para que todos puedan mantenerse hidratados, y promueve el uso de ropa ligera y cómoda. Revisa que los sistemas de respaldo, como generadores, estén funcionando correctamente.
