Cooling centers will be available during operating hours for people needing relief from the heat.

A few other quick tips:

🌡️ Drink plenty of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

🌡️ Stay inside and out of the heat if possible. Save the yard work for another day or time.

🌡️ Know the symptoms of heat-related illness. Heat stroke is an emergency, so call or text 9-1-1.

🌡️ Check on people with vulnerabilities in our community who may need help responding to the heat.

🌡️ Never leave children, older adults, or pets alone in a car.

🌡️ Fans create air flow but give a false sense of comfort and they do not reduce body temperature. Stay hydrated and take other steps to get cool.
