COUNTY RESIDENTS THIS WEEKEND DURING HEAT WAVE"},"content":{"rendered":"

With temperatures in parts of Los Angeles County expected to rise into the triple digits, various public facilities located throughout the County will serve as Emergency Cooling Centers starting on Friday, August 14th. These centers provide members of the public who lack air conditioning at home with relief from the heat, free of charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffering free emergency heat relief is an important service to help keep vulnerable members of the public safe and healthy during heat waves,\u201d stated Kevin McGowan, Director of the Los Angeles County Office of Emergency Management. \u201cThe County is collaborating with various communities, such as Azusa, Burbank, Canoga Park, Claremont, El Monte, Glendale, Los Angeles, San Fernando, Sherman Oaks, Stevenson Ranch, Topanga, and Quartz Hill to bring this support service to all residents at no cost. We jointly stand ready to provide anyone who needs to get out of the heat with a safe place to cool down.\u201d<\/p>\n

All Centers will operate in compliance with physical distancing and other COVID-19 safety criteria from the current Health Officer Order. They will be located in areas selected based on heat forecasts provided by the National Weather Service and impact to regions identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. More locations may be added or hours extended based on weather conditions.
