this week’s temperatures nearing 100 degrees, some are turning to the
city’s cooling centers that opened on Tuesday for relief.
The
city’s Office of Emergency Management has opened 18 cooling centers across the
city.
One of
these centers, the Salvation Army in Bedford-Stuyvesant, opened its
doors and helped over 200 New Yorkers cool down on Tuesday.
The
OEM says that cooling centers become available once temperatures are
expected to reach 95 degrees or higher for two or more days in a row, or if
temperatures are expected to hit 100 for one day.
The Salvation Army in
Bedford-Stuyvesant is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information on cooling
centers around the tri-state area, click here.
