Four severity levels

One clear action, not a wall of advice.

Heat illness escalates fast. Trail Check helps you figure out which rung you're on, and what to do next.

Mild
Dry mouth, thirst, headache

Move to shade, sip water, add a salty snack — fixable in minutes.

Moderate
Dizziness, cramps, dark urine

Stop activity completely and focus on rehydrating before going further.

Severe
Heavy sweat, weak pulse

Get out of the sun, lie down, cool the body — monitor closely for 30 minutes.

Emergency
Confused, hot red skin

Call 911. One tap gives you the exact words to say to a dispatcher.
