Today, Governor Kathy Hochul released the state’s Extreme Heat Action Plan aimed at addressing the health risks of extreme heat on New Yorkers.
The plan, developed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and NYSERDA, aims to coordinate interagency efforts, mitigate local impacts of extreme heat events, and prioritize state investments in disadvantaged communities who are on the frontlines of heat exposure.
The plan also identifies 49 state-led actions and recommendations to address heat vulnerability to help communities adapt to extreme heat. Two webinars will be presented for questions about the Extreme Heat Action Plan on July 9 from 2 to 3 p.m. and July 10 from 6 to 7 p.m
