FYI - Cooling Center vs. Emergency Shelter
A cooling center is a drop-in area for residents to visit during hot temperatures.  No registration is required.  Typically, only seating is available.  An emergency shelter provides a temporary living space for an individual in need of emergency housing.  Registration is required.  Typically, sleeping areas and meals are provided.
