the municipality (health care, urban climate, social welfare offi ce etc.). This working
group is well connected to external institutions like ambulance services, housing
societies, social services etc..
The following measures are recommended and have been partly realised:
• Supply of a leafl et including recommendations for a more adapted behaviour in
a heat case.
• Development of a special heat app(lication) (f.e. inclusive a drink reminder) for
mobile devices running on different platforms.
• Distribution of the web-based heatwarning of the german weather service for
Stuttgart.
• Publication of special thematic website within the Internet presence of the
Municipality of Stuttgart.
• Organisation and operation of a heat phone to warn and inform elder and lone
people.
• Composing of a heat city map including “Cooling Zones”, water posts etc..
• Public relations in different media (sensibilisation, reminding), high visibility
events with small gifts, promotional articles f.e. folding fans
• Instructions for different target groups f.e. families, sportsmanlike people etc.
• using of electronic advertising panels displaying prepared warnings and hints
before and during heat waves.
