The following Heat Emergency Plan is put into place to assist Elders who are suffering from or in danger of suffering from the effects of a "Heat Wave".

A "Heat Wave" is defined when daily temperatures reach ninety (90) degrees

or above for three (3) or more consecutive days.

The Sandwich Council on Aging will provide transportation for Sandwich senior citizens (60 yrs. or older), to the Sandwich Council on Aging Human Services Building for the purpose of providing an air-conditioned space for seniors who are suffering the effects of heat wave. The building is air-conditioned and a Council on Aging staff person will be here to assist any elder in need. The Human Services Building is open during the weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We will open the building beyond 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. during any heat wave at the request of an elder or an elder’s family. The building would likewise be opened on weekends from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. during a heat wave. If you or someone you know, needs access to the Council on Aging Human Services building during a heat wave, please contact the Sandwich Council on Aging office at
