New York City cooling centers are set to open on Tuesday to help residents cool off during what is expected to be a heat wave lasting close to a week.
"While we welcome the warm summer days, New York City is expecting dangerous heat and high humidity this week, and we encourage New Yorkers to take the necessary precautions to avoid exposure to the extreme conditions," Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol said in a statement.
All cooling centers welcome service animals. Some cooling centers welcome pets, too. New York City has teamed with Petco so that New Yorkers and their pets have additional places to cool down. "Heat-related deaths and illness are preventable, yet annually many people suffer from the effects of extreme heat. Some individuals are at a higher risk for heat-related illness than others," the governor's office said in a release. "New Yorkers should learn the risk factors and symptoms of heat-related illness to protect themselves and those they love."
