Hamm starts the survey: This is how we protect ourselves from the heat!

Hamm, Deutschland - The city of Hamm starts an urgent survey to find out how citizens can prepare themselves against the upcoming heat waves. The digital survey is open until November 1, 2024 and is intended to help develop an effective heat action plan. Anonymity is guaranteed, and the hammer can also gain attractive prices, including four hammer cards.

Extreme heat periods are becoming more and more common in Hamm, and the city wants to act with foresight to protect particularly endangered groups such as pregnant women, toddlers, seniors, homeless and chronically ill. According to the Robert Koch Institute, more than 3,000 people in Germany lost their lives in 2023 alone due to heat. It is therefore crucial to complete the heat action plan until the end of 2025 to secure the health of the citizens in the best possible way. The survey is a key tool for this important plan to take preventive measures and to protect the population comprehensively. Further information can be found here .
