The New York City area is currently under an excessive heat warning.

Visitors to the Statue of Liberty and NYC should take extra precautions to stay safe and cool:

🌊: Stay hydrated. Bring plenty of water and make a plan to refill. Water refilling stations are available on both Liberty and Ellis Island. Replenish your electrolytes and salts as well!

🌴: Stick to the shade and limit your time outdoors. Find indoor places like the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration to spend a majority of your time.

👕: Wear light and breathable clothing. Consider wearing a hat or bringing an umbrella to limit sun exposure. Don’t forget the sunscreen as well!

☀️: Pay special attention to children and friends/family members who may be vulnerable to heat and sun exposure.
