Science city of Darmstadt sensitizes citizens for heat protection in summer
With an action stand in the Carree, the science city of Darmstadt takes part in the nationwide heat action day on Wednesday, June 4th . Between 12 and 6 p.m., various urban bodies provide information about health care in summer heat - with a focus on endangered population groups.
Evangelical University , the Coordination Office Healthy City , the Network Coordination Early Aid in the Youth Welfare Office and the Office for Climate Protection and Climate Adaptation are involved . In addition to information materials, interactive promotions for children and adults invite you to participate and linger.
Information offers and cool places at a glance
"The campaign stand provides a comprehensive and clear information offer for heat provision," explains Mayor Barbara Akdeniz . "Especially for people with an increased health risk - such as older people or pregnant women - knowledge about suitable protective measures is essential."
Darmstadt heat action plan was adopted last year . One of his central measures are so-called "cool local cards" , which are now available online:
New drinking water fountain and cooling oases in the city center
City Councilor Michael Kolmer , Department of Planning, Building, Environment and Climate Protection, emphasizes the practical relevance of the maps: "The maps and the city atlas show well-being places such as parks, outdoor pools, as well as drinking water fountains and refill stations in the city area. Three new fountains on Luisenplatz , in Ludwigstraße and on Ludwigsplatz complement the offer."
Professor Alexandra Rau also supports the campaign on site with students. She emphasizes: "Such offers are particularly important for vulnerable groups such as homeless people or older people."
