Governor Hochul Announces Extreme Heat Action Plan

By Idy Perl

Governor Hochul is fulfilling her commitment from the 2022 State of the State address and announced the release of the state’s Extreme Heat Action Plan. The plan aims to address the impacts of extreme heat on New Yorkers, especially those in disadvantaged communities. 

In 2022 Governor Hochul directed the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Energy Research and Development Authority to come up with a plan to deal with the increase in extreme heat that New York has been experiencing. Community planners, government leaders, academic experts and many more people collaborated to develop the Extreme Heat Action Plan, which was now released.

“As New Yorkers witnessed this past week, extreme heat weather events will only increase with climate change threatening the lives and livelihoods of many New Yorkers, particularly those in disadvantaged communities and communities of color,” Governor Hochul said. “This multi-agency Extreme Heat Action Plan helps address a full spectrum of heat exposure and risks and builds upon our continued efforts to protect our most vulnerable residents.”
