El 22 de junio de 2026, el alcalde de la ciudad de Nueva York, Zohran Mamdani, firmó una orden ejecutiva sobre la prevención del calor extremo. Al hacerlo, el alcalde y otros funcionarios gubernamentales reconocieron el peligro que representa el calor extremo y el impacto desproporcionado que tiene en los trabajadores negros y latinos su exposición al calor y las enfermedades relacionados a esto. La orden ejecutiva es parte de un plan más grande que inició en junio, donde los neoyorquinos fueron alentados a mantenerse alerta y estar consciente de los síntomas de agotamiento por calor.

On June 22nd, 2026 New York City Mayor Mamdani signed an executive order on extreme heat prevention. In doing so, the mayor and other government officials recognized how hazardous extreme heat can be to workers and the disproportionate impact on Black and Latino workers’ exposure to heat and heat-related illness. 

This executive order is part of a bigger plan that was initiated earlier in June, where New Yorkers were encouraged to stay alert and be aware of heat exhaustion symptoms. 

My name is Marina, I am originally from Hildalgo, a few years ago I decided to migrate to the United States for necessity, owing to the fact that I have been without a mother since I was very young and I didn’t have anyone who could take care of my younger siblings. Because of this, I had to migrate to the United States to give them a better quality of life. My goal was that my siblings could study, so that they could lead a better life, eat well, and have an education.
