The high temperatures and heat indexes we are experiencing can be challenging to people who work outdoors, athletes, the elderly, children and people who have chronic illnesses as well as people without homes. It can also be dangerous for pets.
Since it’s summer, we’re likely to experience more days of extreme heat. The city offers cooling centers where you can get indoors and out of the heat. The Coalition for the Homeless coordinates the Operation White Flag program to ensure that individuals experiencing houselessness can find shelter during severe weather. Operation White Flag goes into effect when the temperature or heat index is 95 degrees or higher.
Know the health risks associated with a heat wave.
Here are some tips to help you prevent health risks from excessive heat:
- Seek air-conditioning: If your home does not have air-conditioning, seek areas that do-such as libraries, shopping malls, community/senior centers, grocery stores and movie theatres during the warmest period of the day. If you must stay in a home without air-conditioning, stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine.
- Avoid strenuous activities: This is particularly true during the hottest time of the day. Individuals who perform strenuous work during the heat of the day are especially at risk. Here are more safety tips for people who work outdoors.
- Check on family members, neighbors and friends who are vulnerable. Move them to air-conditioned places if possible.
- Drink plenty of fluids even if you aren’t thirsty.
- Never leave pets or people, especially children and infants, unattended in cars during a heat wave.
