Delaware County Public Relations Office

Delaware County Council joined the County’s Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) and PECO on June 21 to announce the County’s 2023 Heat Plan and plans to distribute cooling fans to residents in need.

COSA and the County Office of Adult and Family Services offer assistance to vulnerable residents throughout the summer. Several County programs are in place to help residents cope with hot weather and humidity which can cause dehydration and other health complications.

Residents are encouraged to visit the County’s website to learn about the resources the County provides during the summer season. A 24-hour Emergency Heat Information Line is now active throughout the summer. The information line provides weekly heat safety tips and reminders, emergency information, and locations where people can seek relief from the heat.
