As temperatures continue to soar into the “feels-like-triple-digits” range, area officials are encouraging you to keep cool and check on others who may need assistance. Clarkstown supervisor George Hoehmann says town hall is available if people need to cool down in this extreme heat…
Ramapo Town Hall is also open as a cooling center from 9 to 5. Check with your town or village to see what cooling center options there may be for you. The county’s facilities aren’t open but they have “Stay Cool” tips on their website. O&R suggests closing curtains and shades to block out the sun during the day, and they remind you to turn off your air conditioning while you’re away or at work to help lower your energy bill.
