The City encourages anyone needing relief from the heat to take advantage of these locations. Residents are also encouraged to check on neighbors, family members, and friends who may be more vulnerable to extreme temperatures, including older adults, young children, and individuals without access to air conditioning.

"As temperatures rise, we want to make sure everyone has a safe, comfortable place to cool off," said Mayor Mark Dahlquist. "We encourage everyone to take advantage of these cooling shelters if needed and to help spread the word so those who could benefit know these locations are available."
