COOLING CENTERS
Cooling Centers are air conditioned facilities which are open to the public
during dangerously hot weather. Spending a few hours in an air-conditioned
environment can bring down the body's core temperature and make it easier to
handle the heat. Older and/or frail adults, homeless people, parents with small
children and persons with health conditions that may be made worse by the weather
should consider spending time in a cooling center, particularly between 1pm
and 5pm when temperatures are at their highest. During days where heat advisories
have been announced, visit this website or dial 2-1-1 for a list of cooling
centers near you.
