Summary
New Jersey is in the grips of a deadly heat crisis, with temperatures hitting 108 degrees and 29 heat-related deaths in just five days — a shocking spike from last summer’s six. Many victims were unhoused or trapped in cars, exposing deep vulnerabilities. ERs saw a record 132 heat illness cases in one day. The crisis affects all ages, not just the elderly, as people died in homes without AC or on the streets. Advocates are pushing for statewide cooling centers, a “code red” heat alert system, and protections for outdoor workers — but say real solutions require tackling systemic issues like housing and shelters before the next wave hits.
