City to open cooling center this week at Ansonia Rescue Medical Services

ANSONIA - With the extreme heat this upcoming week, Mayor Cassetti announces the Cooling Center will open at ARMS, in the lobby, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. July 28, 29, and 30.

ARMs is located at 22 West Main St.

Staying Cool:
Seek air-conditioned spaces: Spend time in public places like libraries, malls, or cooling centers during the hottest parts of the day.

Use fans and take cool showers or baths: Fans can provide comfort, but cool showers or baths are more effective at lowering body temperature.

Close curtains and blinds: This can help reduce heat buildup in your home.

Use window reflectors: Aluminum foil-covered cardboard can help reflect heat away from your home.

Staying Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water: Carry a water bottle and sip on it throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty.

Avoid sugary drinks, alcohol, and caffeine: These can dehydrate you.

Replace electrolytes: If you're sweating heavily, consider drinks or foods that replace electrolytes.

Please remember your neighbors, especially the elderly. Don’t forget about your pets. Don’t walk them on hot pavement or leave them outside for long periods of time and remember to give them water.

Anyone who needs a cool place to get some relief can call 2-1-1 or visit 211ct.org to get directed to their nearest cooling center.

Please remember to check in on your neighbors, especially any elderly folks who may need some additional assistance during the heatwave.

Please be safe and cool over the next few days and remember to keep an eye on your neighbors and pets during this time. May God bless you all and may God bless the great vity of Ansonia.
