Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...Rochester recorded temperatures into the 90s this July—and for people living without shelter, extreme heat can be more dangerous than winter cold, advocates for the unhoused say. Amy D’Amico, founder of Rochester Grants Pass Resistance, an organization that supports unhoused people, says extreme heat can exacerbate existing health problems. The city’s Extreme Heat Plan, created by the Office of Energy and Sustainability to combat the effects of climate change, identifies homeless individuals as a vulnerable population. Aside from the Cool Sweep, EHP initiatives include extreme heat preparation and education before high temperatures are expected, and National Weather Service advisories and warnings during heat waves. The EHP mentions distributing “extreme heat preparedness kits.”
