Amid heat wave, energy assistance is available in Ohio

Ohioans experiencing a heat wave and air-quality advisory can get emergency energy assistance through the Summer Crisis Program, which began July 1 and runs through September 30. Last year, it helped over 55,000 households. This program is crucial as extreme weather can have severe health impacts, especially on vulnerable populations, making financial support for cooling expenses vital. The initiative underscores the state's commitment to supporting residents during such critical times.
