Many older New Yorkers live alone and could suffer unnecessarily in the heat because they are isolated from friends and family. Older adults and others who may be sensitive to extreme heat should contact friends, neighbors, or relatives at least twice a day during a heat wave. Keep in touch by phone at least twice a day during heat waves.

Make sure they are drinking enough water.Ĭheck on your neighbors virtually or over the phone during a heat wave, especially if they are older adults, young children, and people with disabilities and access and functional needs. Help them get to an air-conditioned place if they cannot stay cool at home. Encourage vulnerable family, friends, and neighbors to use air conditioning. Air conditioning is the best way to stay safe and healthy when it is hot outside, but some vulnerable people do not have an air conditioner or do not turn it on when they need it. In New York City, most heat-related deaths occur after exposure to heat in homes without air conditioners.

Check the condition of your air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Install high-performance windows and sunshades (such as blackout curtains).
