When
daytime temperatures reach the 90s or triple digits and are accompanied
by high humidity for two or more days, heat-related illness (e.g.,
dehydration, heat stroke) is more common and a heat health emergency is
declared. During a Heat Health Emergency, it’s important to check on loved ones, neighbors, and pets and look out for each other.
During the Heat Health Emergency, the following heat-related resources will remain available:
–
The Philadelphia Corporation for Aging will maintain its Heatline –
(215)-765-9040 – which residents can call to get health and safety tips
and talk to medical professionals about heat-related illness. The Heatline is open from 8:30AM to 12AM on 7/19, 7/20 and 7/21 and from 8:30AM to 11PM on 7/22.
- – Cooling centers – including libraries, senior centers and recreation centers – will stay open later. To find a cooling center near you, click here.
