　In order to prevent heat stroke, self support is essential, such as health management, appropriate indoor temperature adjustment, and refraining from going out under extremely high temperatures. However, if you have to go out, it is important to reduce the risk of heat stroke. Therefore, in Yokohama City, since the summer of 2023, citizens have been publishing on a web page as a cool share spot that can be used as a place for citizens to temporarily overcome the heat when going out. In 2024, we will recruit businesses that can cooperate as cool share spots to create an environment that is easy for citizens to use when going out and to strengthen heat stroke measures.
　For details, press release document "We are looking for companies that can cooperate with the efforts of cool share spots!" It is posted here.
Businesses who can cooperate with Cool Share Spots should apply for participation from the electronic application system registration form (outside site).
