Experts say you should drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room if possible, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors, especially the elderly and very young. Also, don't leave your pets out too long in this heat. Make sure they have plenty of water and keep them inside if possible.
