It’s been a hot start to summer this year, and extreme heat can cause significant health risks for all people and, particularly, for older adults, pregnant women, infants, and young children, and people with medical conditions. 

Please make sure to be prepared for heat emergencies and to look out for yourself, your loved ones (both people and pets), and neighbors. 

For information on what to do to prepare for heat emergencies and in the event of heat-related illness, please reference the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Emergency Management information page, which can be found here.
