Heat Warning / Cooling Center Information 
Please be advised that extreme heat warnings are in effect today though Wednesday. Heat indexes could reach or exceed 105 degrees.
Young children and infants, pregnant women, as well as older adults and those with chronic medical conditions are at higher risk of heat related illness. Please take extra precautions and see the attachment for additional heat related safety tips.
Do not leave children or pets alone in a car, even for a minute. A vehicle heats up quickly and a child’s body temperature rises faster than an adult’s. Animals are at risk for brain damage or heatstroke in just 15 minutes. If you see a child or pet left unattended in a vehicle, dial 911 immediately.
