Community organizations and
businesses become Cooling Centers to welcome those who do not have air
conditioning at home. Free rides to cooling centers
are available to those with a physical and financial need through CATA, EATRAN
and Clinton Area Transit. To find a cooling center or to determine if they are
eligible for a free ride, area residents should dial 2-1-1.
During extreme heat conditions everyone is urged to spend at least a few hours a day in a cool place, this is even more important for the elderly and those with chronic health conditions. Take care of yourself and others in the heat.

As a rule of thumb, heat index
temperatures of 93-102 degrees will warrant a "condition orange-heat
alert," and 103 degrees and above will establish a "condition red-heat
warning." Meteorologists will also take other factors into consideration,
such as the length of time that temperatures are expected to remain high, when
making the determination.
