The amount of outdoor weather-related deaths reported in New York City has climbed 14, according to Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Officials say
eight of those cases involved hypothermia, but a medical examiner still needs to determine the official cause of death for those individuals.
The city entered a Code Blue on Jan. 19 as the temperatures dropped to dangerous levels.
Mamdani says officials are working to keep the city safe.
“We have been taking every possible measure to get new Yorkers inside. This has been a full all hands deck approach and since the start of the emergency,” he stated.
Mamdani reminds the public to remain vigilant and call 311 if in need of assistance.
