ACTIVATED 9/5 through 9/7 at Depot Park
With temperatures forecasted to rise into the triple digits this upcoming weekend, an emergency cooling center will be made available on Saturday, September 5 through Monday, September 7, 2020.
The cooling center will be located at Depot Park, on 5th and Cedar Streets, and will be open from noon through 8:00 p.m. each day.
The cooling center will consist of a shade structure with misters for those seeking respite from the heat. For cooling center operations, activation occurs when temperature rises above 100 degrees for two or more consecutive days.
