4 years ago, today we had the . Because of climate change, it’s this time of year that we tend to experience heat waves & poor air quality more frequently. Know how to be healthy in heat & smokey air➡️www.sf72.org/hazards

! This weekend, take some time for self-care. Manage your mental health:
📱 Connect with others
🍃 Take a break outside
👟 Exercise
🍎 Eat healthy foods
👐 Reach out for help

Fight the urge to procrastinate on putting together your go-bag❕

What better time than to walk around the house and build a bag you can quickly grab if you need to leave home in an emergency. Include items like nonperishable foods, water, copies of important documents, cash and anything else you think your family and pets would need.

During a disaster important documents could get lost or destroyed. Prepare now by storing them in a waterproof container in a safe area of your home and creating digital copies.

As the heat cont. in the Bay Area, if you're coming to SF beaches to cool off, riptides & sneaker waves can make SF beaches dangerous places to swim. It's best to stay out of the water.

如果您從灣區其他地區到三藩市避暑，請謹記離岸流和湧浪會為在沙灘上和海邊的人士帶來危險。我們建議避開海邊，尤其是在擁擠的時候。

Si viaja a SF para evitar el calor en el resto del Área de la Bahía recuerde que las contracorrientes y mareas imprevistas pueden hacer que nuestras playas sean lugares peligrosos para nadar. Le recomendamos que evite meterse al agua especialmente los días que haya mucha gente.

Kung pupunta ka sa SF upang talunin ang init sa natitirang bahagi ng Bay Area tandaan na ang mga riptide at mga sneaker wave ay maaaring gawing mapanganib na mga lugar upang lumangoy ang ating mga baybayin. Inirerekumenda namin ang pag-iwas sa tubig, lalo na sa masikip na araw.

Did you know in case of a disaster, you should be prepared to shelter at work for at least 24 hours? Your work kit should include food, water, and other necessities like medicines and comfortable walking shoes and clothes. In the spirit of SFDEM Exec. Director Mary Ellen Carroll walked the talk and checked her office emergency supplies to make sure her clothes were not only practical but still in style (yes, skinny jeans are still in style!) www.sf72.org/supplies

It's another warm day in SF. Keep hydrated & seek cooler environments if you:
- Feel tired, weak, or dizzy
- Have a headache or muscle cramps
- Are sweating heavily
- Feel faint
- Look pale

Stay safe in the heat: Don’t leave kids, pets or older adults in locked cars with the windows closed. Outside temperatures of 80 degrees can rise to 99 degrees inside a locked car in just 10 minutes & 123 degrees after an hour.

Our windows can be powerful natural air conditioners, but as temperatures rise and we open windows more than usual, this increases the risk of falls for young children. If possible, install safety gates on open windows, and always keep an eye on young children. More information at www.sf72.org/hazard/heat-0

Parked cars get hot, fast – and so do your children. Always check the back seat before leaving your car.

Los autos estacionados se calientan, y tus hijos también. Siempre revisa el asiento trasero antes de salir del auto.
