City of San Antonio Department of Resilience and Sustainability

We are celebrating World Environment Day with a major accomplishment!
Today our team commissioned the rooftop solar system at Ron Darner Parks and Recreation Headquarters. We're proud to have a $30 million municipal solar program that’s halfway completed. With over 50 rooftop and parking canopy locations, the solar program is estimated to save our city $1.8 M annually!

Tomorrow is another Ozone Action Day! Stay inside, gas up your car only if you need to and conserve energy.

Today was a big day towards making our climate adaptation goals a reality! Today our own Patsy M. presented our plan to the Alamo Area Council of Governments Board. Our team has engaged with over 18,000 people from our region for their expertise and input on the plan. Want to learn more? Click the link below or visit via the link in our bio.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has issued an Ozone Action Day for the San Antonio area tomorrow, May 13. Metro Health would like to remind you to do your part on Ozone Action Days. Adjust your activities by taking these actions:

- Fuel your vehicle after 6:00 p.m.
- Work from home if possible
- Conserve energy
- Do not use gas-powered lawn equipment

Remember - High levels of ozone can trigger a variety of health problems for young children, older adults, and those with respiratory issues. Please limit outdoor activities and stay indoors.

It's not even May yet, and the Texas heat is creeping in. To help our city prepare, we created the "San Antonio Heat Resilience Playbook" is a simple guide that helps City leaders, departments, and the community take action. It builds on what’s already being done, helps move slow projects forward, and connects efforts to have a bigger impact 🪭😎☀️ read more about it at the link below!
