To great ills, great remedies.
Faced with the extreme heat wave that spread across the whole country and did not spare Chamonix despite its altitude of 1,000 m, the city reviewed its action plan activated in the event of a heat wave.
This is mainly intended to protect the most fragile inhabitants, explains
Le Dauphiné Libéré
.
These people are identified in a list.
Weakened residents who came forward during the Covid-19 pandemic are included, said Chamonix's first assistant, in charge of personal services.
This is also the case for subscribers to the remote alarm service and beneficiaries of the Personalized Autonomy Allowance (APA).
life-saving reminders
In the event of strong heat, these inhabitants are contacted in order to know their state of health and their needs.
The city has also equipped the Marie-Paradis conviviality room with an air conditioning system and fans.
A bottle of water was added to the meals delivered by the municipality.
The municipal team also intends to inform more active visitors of the need to save time during the hottest hours and to hydrate regularly.
