Abren centros de enfriamiento en Houston tras que el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional emitiera una advertencia de calor para el martes 13 de agosto. Los valores del índice de calor estarán en los tres dígitos.
Por eso, la ciudad de Houston activa su Plan de Emergencia de Salud Pública por Calor cuando el área de Houston comienza a experimentar calor excesivo. Se activa el plan cuando se espera que una advertencia de calor o una advertencia de calor excesivo dure dos o más días consecutivos.
Las personas sin transporte adecuado a un centro de enfriamiento designado pueden llamar al 3-1-1 para solicitar un viaje gratuito. El transporte es solo de ida y vuelta a los centros de enfriamiento en Houston; no está disponible el transporte a otros lugares.
