Things we should do for children:  provide them with plenty of water to keep them from becoming dehydrated.  During the heat of the day, it is best to stay inside where it is air-conditioned.  Wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen lotion with a high rating.  When around water, always have a life jacket on the child and never leave unattended.

The elderly also need to drink water to help avoid dehydration.  Avoid exposure to the sun during the hottest part of the day(mid-afternoon).  Schedule any outside work either early morning hours and late in the evening.  Stay inside with air conditioned to avoid having a heat stroke.
