The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for our area, forecasting 90-degree temperatures and high humidity from Tuesday through Thursday.
To help residents stay safe and cool, the City of New Haven has activated our extreme heat protocols through Thursday 8 p.m.:
· City libraries and senior centers will be open as cooling centers during normal business hours.
· Splash pads at city parks will continue to be operational.
· City shelters will extend their hours and capacity, as needed.
A full list of all these locations can be found on the city’s website: newhavenct.gov
Please stay cool, stay hydrated, limit your time in direct sunlight, avoid strenuous activities, and check on your loved ones and neighbors – especially at-risk populations such as young children, the elderly, and people with underlying medical conditions. Please always call 9-1-1 for any heat-related emergency.
Thanks everyone – stay cool and stay safe!
