As part of a comprehensive $55 million COVID-19 Heat Wave Plan, the city will provide more than 74,000 free air conditioners to low-income seniors and help pay electricity bills for 450,000 residents. New York’s energy utility, ConEd, has suspended service disconnections and waived late payment fees.

“Using air conditioning, even just for a few hours, can make all the difference,” the city’s health commissioner Oxiris Barbot said in a statement.
By mid-June, suspected heat-related deaths in the Phoenix area were three times higher than at the same point last summer, according to media reports.
Other large cities are also developing plans to protect their most at-risk residents. New York City, for instance, will modify its existing cooling centers to allow social distancing requirements and create others at sports venues and auditoriums.
