This week's heat wave could be deadly and life threatening if you are not prepared, New York City Mayor Eric Adams in a statement on Saturday.
High heat is a silent killer, posing a disproportionate threat to our most vulnerable residents: adults aged 60 and older, young children, and those with pre-existing health conditions.
