EXTREME HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT

The Emergency Preparedness and Response Branch (Population Health Division) of the San Francisco Department of Public Health is asking its community partners to reach out to their respective constituencies with the following precautions to take in light of the National Weather Service's extreme heat warning currently in effect.

Remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, wear light clothing and a hat if you go outside, avoid strenuous activity, and check on your neighbors, friends and family members - especially those who live alone. Prepare for the heat by pulling the shades down during the day and keeping the windows open at night.

For relief from the heat, consider visiting a community center, movie theater, congregation, public library, swimming pool, local recreation center or shaded park. For more information please refer to the following resources:
