Water will be provided at each location.

As temperatures will remain dangerously high over the weekend, we will update this page with information about weekend Cooling Centers if we receive it.
Stay safe, stay hydrated! Check in on your neighbors, especially the elderly and those with small children. Also, remember this heat is too much for pets to be out in for long periods of time. Make sure they have plenty of water in their bowls!
