New Yorkers are urged to take precautions as high heat is expected starting June 18th 2024
EXTREME HEAT ALERT
New Yorkers are urged to take precautions as high heat is expected in New York City starting tomorrow, June 18th 2024. The New York City Emergency Management Department and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene have issued this warning, citing the National Weather Service forecast for the first heat wave of the season. Extreme heat events are defined as periods when the heat index is 100°F or higher for one or more days, or 95°F or higher for two or more consecutive days. New Yorkers are urged to take precautions as high heat is expected starting June 18th 2024.
Mayor Eric Adams emphasizes the importance of preparation: “A heat wave can be more than just uncomfortable; it can be deadly and life-threatening if you are not prepared. Ensure you have a plan to beat the heat and check in on your neighbors, especially older adults, to stay hydrated and keep pets cool.”
Cooling centers will be open Tuesday through Thursday. To find your local cooling center, visit the NYC Cooling Centers Map or call 311.
SAFETY TIPS FOR EXTREME HEAT
NYC Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol advises all New Yorkers to take the following precautions during high heat:
Stay Hydrated: Drink water or electrolyte drinks frequently, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Stay Cool: Use air conditioning or visit a cool place such as libraries, malls, or museums. Avoid direct sunlight and wear light-colored, lightweight clothing.
Limit Outdoor Activity: Avoid strenuous activities during peak sun hours (11:00 AM to 4:00 PM). If you must exercise, do so in the early morning or late evening.
Know the Signs of Heat Illness: Symptoms include hot dry skin, trouble breathing, rapid heartbeat, confusion, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. Call 911 immediately if these symptoms occur.

KEEPING YOUR PETS SAFE
Hydration: Ensure pets have plenty of fresh, clean water.
Walks: Walk your dog during cooler parts of the day to avoid hot pavement.
Watch for Overheating: Signs include excessive panting, difficulty breathing, drooling, weakness, or collapse.
IMPROPER FIRE HYDRANT USE
Utilization of Fire Hydrants Misuse of Fire HydrantsOpening fire hydrants improperly can waste water, cause flooding, and reduce the water pressure needed for firefighting. Obtain a spray cap from your local firehouse to safely cool off.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

Use appliances during cooler times of the day. Close blinds and curtains to keep out heat. Turn off lights and appliances when not in use.

JUROR OF AWARDS Award-winning photographers Bill and Gen Rudock will serve as Jurors of Awards. With over 60 years of combined photographic experience, they share a love and passion for photography, traveling, nature, and wildlife. Their knowledge and their reputations have made them sought after speakers, lecturers, and workshop instructors.

Members: $25 (1-2 pieces)
Non-members: $35 (1-2 pieces)
