Washington, DC) – Mayor Muriel Bowser has activated a Hot Weather Emergency for Wednesday, July 26 through Sunday, July 30. The National Weather Service forecasts the heat index will reach or exceed 95 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday and will exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Thursday through Saturday with indexes nearing 110 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday and Saturday.
 
The Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) activate a Hot Weather Emergency when the temperature or heat index is forecast to reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for at least four consecutive days. During a Hot Weather Emergency, the District stands up cooling centers for residents seeking relief from the heat.
 
During this week’s extreme heat, residents are urged to stay cool and hydrated and to check on seniors, unsheltered residents, and other vulnerable neighbors. Residents can request free transportation to a cooling center for themselves or someone else by calling the shelter hotline at (202) 399-7093 or by calling 311. Residents can find their closest cooling center using the District’s interactive map. 

It is important for residents to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and stroke. Symptoms may include dry red skin, convulsions, throbbing headaches, disorientation, chills, delirium, and coma. Onset of heatstroke can be rapid: a person can go from feeling apparently well to a seriously ill condition within minutes.

Mayor Muriel Bowser Presents …

: , our 1st location in Buzzard Point (2019), was built from the ground up w/ money we bootstrapped from Friends & Family and later paid back after a successful inaugural year.

Now with , our 5th location in the Bridge District (2022), we’re building a much larger space (5x) from the ground up once again but this time w/ support from Redbrick Development, Our Madam Mayor Muriel Bowser, the Deputy Mayor’s Office of Planning & Economic Development, Director Gates at the Office of Cable, Television, Film, Music & Entertainment and the Creative Affairs Office and the entire team at Beam Suntory.

We thank all of our partners for their continued support and appreciate all the Construction team leads and personnel who are pushing to get us open!

Due to the size of our space, which clocks in well over 25,000 square feet, we installed a Bioretention Basin or Bioswale to help mitigate stormwater management, a requirement from . This pond will be filled with sandy soil, & topped with a thick layer of mulch, and planted with dense vegetation. Stormwater runoff flows into the pond and slowly percolates through the soil (which acts as a filter) and into the groundwater; some of the water is also taken up by the plants.

“The Sandlot has generally billed itself as a cultural and social hub for the D.C.-area neighborhoods that house it. For Anacostia, it plans to do even more when it opens there.

Kevin Hallums and Ian Callender, founders of Sandlot, are mapping out the new 25,000-square-foot outdoor bar and event venue, set to open at 633 Howard Road SE as an anchor for the Bridge District development this spring. It'll be part events space, part social gathering place, part community forum and part business hub.”
