The City of San Antonio is opening six overnight Resilience Hubs from January 24 through January 26 in response to a forecasted cold snap with precipitation. These Hubs offer shelter, basic needs, power, device charging, free wi-fi, and pet kennels for residents and their animals, according to the City of San Antonio.
The city encourages visitors to bring their own clothing, supplies, and medicine, and has partnered with local organizations to provide additional temporary overnight shelter at locations like the Bode Community Center and Communities Under the Bridge. These measures aim to ensure the safety and warmth of residents, especially those who are unsheltered, during the extreme weather, as reported by the City of San Antonio.
The City of San Antonio advises residents can stay warm at city libraries, community centers, and senior centers during regular hours. A full list is available at SA.gov/ColdWeather. VIA is providing free rides to and from designated Resilience Hub locations; bus riders should inform the operator, and VIAtrans passengers should mention their destination when booking. The Community Connections Hotline (210-207-1799) will operate 24/7 starting January 24 for assistance or to report someone in need. Residents are advised to limit travel and exercise caution on icy roads. Resources on protecting people, pets, plants, and pipes, as well as tips for staying warm, are available at SA.gov/ColdWeather, with emergency alerts at SA.gov/Alerts.
