Dear New Haven Residents,
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for our area, forecasting high temperatures and humidity for the next several days. As such, the City of New Haven has issued an extreme heat alert and activated our extreme heat protocols -- effective beginning today, Tuesday, July 19th 8 a.m. and continuing through Sunday, July 24th 8 p.m.
Heatwaves can result in serious heat-related health issues and illnesses. This can happen quickly, especially among at-risk populations such as infants, young children, the elderly, people with underlying medical conditions, and pets too. Please check on your family, friends, and neighbors -- and call 9-1-1 for any heat-related emergency.
To help residents stay safe and cool, below are some helpful tips, a list of Cooling Centers locations (city senior centers and libraries), and a list of city parks with splash pads. Residents are also encouraged to check news outlets and the City’s website (www.newhavenct.gov) for additional updates.
Thanks everyone. Stay cool and be safe
