With extreme heat this week, San Diego reminds residents of Cool Zones in libraries and recreation centers and advises hikers to use caution on Open Space trails. Hike with a friend, limit activities to early morning, and bring plenty of water.
Extreme heat is a major hazard, causing more deaths than other weather events. Stay hydrated, avoid overexertion, and never leave people or pets in vehicles. Help those at higher risk, such as children, older adults, and outdoor workers.
