Cooling Centers Offer Relief

When temperatures become dangerously high, cooling centers provide a safe place to escape the heat. Public buildings such as community centers, libraries, and designated cooling centers offer air-conditioned spaces where residents can cool down and reduce their risk of heat-related illness.

If you or someone you know does not have access to air conditioning, plan ahead and locate the nearest cooling center before extreme heat arrives.
