I agree with the idea to check on the elderly neighbors, that reminds me of what happened with that terrible Chicago heat wave some years ago-
That was terrible how many people dies from not having any a/c ! When I was a health aide I had client and she only weight 93 lbs. When I got to her apartment during a heat wave I found her almost passed out ! The health aide that took care of my client in the AM dressed her in a winter nightgown and buttoned up all the way up my client neck then had her sit in front the window!! No one had done her laundry during the week ,and she had no summer clothes to wear! If my client did not have a heath aide BID she would been dead from a heat stroke! I could not believe how dumb the first heath aide was to leave a 90 years old lady like that! The heat can be really dangerous to our elders and babies!
