Orange County Announces Cooling Centers

GOSHEN, NY — Orange County has announced a list of cooling centers for people to use to get out of the extreme heat this weekend. Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus is advising residents to take advantage of cooling centers that will open in a number of municipalities.

“It is very important to take this heat wave seriously,” Neuhaus said. “Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, take frequent breaks if working outside and use fans to increase ventilation. Seniors are more susceptible to becoming overheated or dehydrated. I encourage county residents to visit senior relatives and neighbors at least twice a day during the heat wave.”

Residents seeking relief from the high heat should access these cooling centers or other public air-conditioned locations. It's advised to always call a cooling center before going to confirm it is open.
