New York Governor Kathy Hochul has taken proactive measures in response to the potential record-setting heat wave expected to hit the Northeast this week. Hochul announced the opening of the state’s emergency operations center to monitor conditions and coordinate resources with emergency management personnel across all 62 counties in the state.
The governor emphasized the importance of protecting lives during this period of significant risk, especially as every region of upstate New York is forecasted to experience temperatures exceeding 100 degrees, including areas near the Canadian border.
