Hypothermia victims should be moved to a warm, dry location as quickly as possible, while avoiding rapid rewarming that can cause shock. Remove any wet clothing and cover them with dry blankets or clothing to retain body heat. If the person is conscious and able to swallow, offer warm, non-alcoholic beverages to help raise their body temperature. Seek medical attention immediately, as severe hypothermia can be life-threatening.
