Default Re: Can You use the Freezer (in emergency) to cool hot apartment?

No one has mentioned that elderly people are less able to recognize high temperatures, that is why they wear sweaters in June! Also, they do not sweat as much and they certainly don't drink as much as they should so they get dehydrated and that is what is behind a lot of the elderly deaths in summertime. I say this to say that it doesn't matter what means you have available to cool them, you have to get them to use it first!
