 Hey Californians, I'm Alicia from Cal OES and I'm here with my friend Brittany. Hi everyone. So you guys probably already know it's going to be really hot this weekend, but do you know exactly how hot? Parts of California will see temperatures ranging from 100 to 120 degrees, and then in places like Death Valley, they could see temperatures all the way to 130 degrees. Now this type of heat is not only extremely uncomfortable, but it's also potentially dangerous for a large portion of the state. So all of us here at Cal OES have some tips for you to get prepared for this extreme heat wave. Start by hydrating right now. By staying hydrated, you're going to keep your body cool during these excessive heats. Also don't forget about your pets. Keep their water dishes full with fresh water and out of direct sunlight. And speaking of your pets, take them for a walk in the morning hours while the temperatures are still cool. And for yourself, avoid any strenuous activity in the peak heat of the day. This extreme heat will also put stress on our energy grid. That's why Cal ISO has issued a flex alert starting at 4pm tonight. These flex alerts are called in hopes that Californians will reduce their energy usage and prevent rolling blackouts. Now there are a couple of things you can do ahead of tonight's flex alert. Start by pre-cooling your home. So set your AC to 72 degrees and shut your blinds to keep that cool air in. And then run your laundry in your dishwasher this morning. Also, charge any electrical devices you may need. And once that flex alert hits, bump your AC back up to 78 degrees and use fans where you can. Try to avoid using major appliances and unplug any unnecessary devices. It's also a good idea to check on your neighbors and loved ones who might need your help. Taking these steps now will help protect you and your family during these extreme heat waves. So fill up that water bottle and get to hydrating. We hope you guys have a great weekend.
