Extreme heat arrives Wednesday. Today, while it is still mild, is the day to get ready.
Take a few minutes to safely clean and install your air conditioner. A working AC is the single most effective way to prevent heat illness and death, especially for older adults, people with health conditions, and anyone at higher risk.
At Emergency Management, we plan for heat as the deadliest weather we face, and we know the days before matter most. Set yourself up now to keep you and your family safe so you are cool and protected when the temperatures climb.

Brute attack on Harlem bus
────────────
An elderly man was beaten and stabbed on board an MTA bus when he confronted a bully for pushing past a pregnant passenger.
Robert Hunter, 73, was on his way back from grocery shopping in Harlem around 6:30 p.m. June 5 when he said four "brutes" attacked him as the bus reached Broadway and West 92nd Street on the Upper West Side – all because he defended the woman.
“It was a pregnant girl on the bus, she… had a baby carriage, and she didn’t want to sit down,” Hunter told The Post by phone Thursday. “She’s letting everybody else sit down. So a guy got on the bus and pushed by her, squeezing by, hitting the lady’s stomach, you know?”
“So all I said was, ‘You know the lady’s pregnant, show her some respect,’” Hunter recalled.
But the intervention only made Hunter the new target of the pusher and his three buddies on board the M104, he said.
“Mind your f–king business,” the "brutes" told him, according to law enforcement sources.
The NYPD released photos late Wednesday of two backpack-wearing "brutes" wanted in connection with the attack.
Anyone with information on the assault is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
