MORE: Beat the Heat!
Gov. Ned Lamont tweeted out that the National Weather
Service has issued heat advisories for most of the state from today to
Wednesday.
He says that the Division of Emergency Management and
Homeland Security is coordinating with towns and cities to open cooling
centers.
For more
information on cooling centers, you can call 211 or visit the state’s Extreme
Hot Weather webpage.
If there isn’t a cooling center in your town, your town
library, senior center or other public locations are good spots to get some
relief.
If you plan on swimming to cool off, there's also a list of
swimming facilities on the state website.
There is also contact information for your utility provider
if you lose power.
