CRITERIA FOR OPENING

*Temperatures are based on information provided by the National Weather Service (http://www.weather.gov/)

    Cooling Center will open when temperatures are 104F and above.
    Warming Center will open when temperatures fall to 31F and below.
    In addition to one of the two criteria above, the center will open only if there is sufficient staffing.

COOLING CENTER

Spending a few hours in an air-conditioned environment can bring down the body's core temperature. Older or frail adults, homeless people, and persons with health conditions that may be made worse by hot weather should consider spending time in a cooling center, particularly between 1pm and 5pm when temperatures are at their highest.

Beat the HEAT!

    Drink plenty of water
    Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and large amounts of sugar because they will dehydrate your body
    Wear sun screen and reapply often
    Avoid direct sun, seek shade while outdoors

WARMING CENTER

Bitter cold temperatures are more than an inconvenience; they can pose a serious threat to health and safety. Getting out of the cold and into a warming center during the overnight hours can bring much relief from what can be unbearable temperatures.

Cope with the COLD!

    Wear layers including hat and gloves
    Keep as dry as possible
    Avoid alcohol as it can dilate blood vessels and cause hypothermia
    Seek shelter and limit outdoor activity
