San Antonio – With a scorching weekend of triple-digit temperatures ahead, the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District has issued an extreme heat warning. KSAT 12 has put together a quick cheat sheet of what you may need.

SAFETY TIPS

The name of the game is staying cool. Here are some basics.

• Stay hydrated. George Perez, an operational manager for SA Metro Health’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness Division, recommends drinking a gallon of water a day.
• Limit outdoor activity, especially in the hottest parts of the day.
• Enjoy the AC. If you don’t have air conditioning at home, a trip to one of the cooling centers below, or even a box store is worth the trip.
