    Extreme Heat Tips and Information

    This article was archived from the previous WordPress site. Formatting and media should be close, but may not match the original post perfectly.

    With warmer temperatures expected over the next few days🌡, I wanted to share with you some resources and local cooling stations that you might find useful.

    While the Town of Berlin doesn’t have an official cooling space, the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library – 234 Kensington Road and Berlin Senior Center – 33 Colonial Dr. act as unofficial spaces for residents who are looking for cooler temperatures.

    Extreme Heat Preparedness Tips
    Take Care of Yourself and Check on the Most Vulnerable
    Stay Cool – Keep your body temperature cool to avoid heat-related illness
    Stay Hydrated – as you sweat, it is important to replace the loss of fluid by drinking more water than usual

    For Southington residents, the following sites are serving as cooling centers:
    Southington Public Library, 255 Main St.,
    Tuesday: Noon to 8 p.m.
    Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
    Thursday: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
    Friday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    Calendar House Senior/Community Center, 388 Pleasant St.
    Tuesday: Noon to 4:30 p.m.
    Wednesday: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
    Thursday: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
    Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

    Southington Police Department lobby, 69 Lazy Lane
    Tuesday, July 15, starting at noon and all hours when the Calendar House and Southington Public Library are closed.

    Increased temperatures can be extremely dangerous to the elderly, young children, and increase heat-related illnesses like heat stroke and heat exhaustion among people who work outdoors. If you’re looking for a place to cool off, visit the website below for a list of cooling centers across the state.

    Rep. Veach Tours Local Library, Learns More About their Programs and Services

    Libraries have evolved quite significantly from the traditional card catalogs, microfiche, cold and quiet places they were for many of us growing up. Today, these spaces have been transformed into vibrant community gathering spaces for people of all ages. Yesterday, I had a chance to tour the Berlin-Peck Memorial Library and see the evolution that […]
