High summer temperatures lead to thousands of cases of heat-related illness in our community each year. All these cases are preventable with appropriate resources and precautions. The City of Phoenix's Cool Callers initiative is a volunteer program that strives to prevent heat-related
illnesses by conducting telephone-based wellness checks. Volunteers proactively guide residents to a wide variety of City and regional resources that can help keep home environments cool and safe during the summer months.
Cool Callers volunteers call community members who opt into the program at regular intervals during the summer, with a focus on days with National Weather Service Excessive Heat Warnings in effect. Volunteers conduct short questionnaires to assess residents' health and safety and their ability to access sufficient cooling at home and in their neighborhood. Where necessary, volunteers can help guide residents to City and regional resources related to home cooling and heat safety. Phones and phone service for volunteer use during the program are provided by the City.
