Beat the Heat

The City of San Antonio urges all residents to prepare now to stay cool and safe during extreme summer heat.  

Stay Cool 

• Spend time in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible. 
• Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing. 
• More than 60 places to stay cool are available across the City to provide heat relief for the community. 

Stay Safe 

• Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day (typically 2 - 7 p.m.). 
• Take frequent breaks in the shade or indoors if working or exercising outside. 
• Watch for signs of heat exhaustion: heavy sweating, weakness, nausea, dizziness, and headache. 
• Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles. If you see a child or pet locked in a hot car or the bed of a truck, take immediate action. Note the vehicle’s description and license plate number and call 911. 

Pets 

• Extreme heat can quickly lead to heat stress in pets. To keep them safe: 
• Always provide fresh water, shaded shelter, and proper housing. These are not just best practices, they're required by law. Chain tethers are prohibited year-round. 
• Protect your pet’s paws - pavement and asphalt can get very hot in the summer. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. 

100 Deadliest Days

As part of its Drive SAfely SA program, the San Antonio Municipal Court is raising awareness about the “100 Deadliest Days” for teen drivers. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, fatal car crashes involving teens increase. 

The Court will share driver safety materials throughout the summer to court visitors. The City will share safety tips on its social media channels. Parents can download the Parent-Teen Driver Safety First Agreement from the Court’s website.
