COLUMBUS, Ind. – The City of Columbus says Donner Center will be open as a “Cooling Center” on Monday, July 15, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for those without air conditioning and who need a break from the heatwave.
Crates will be available from Columbus Animal Care for anyone who has animals. Animals will not be allowed to run free in the building unless they are a service animal.
According to the National Weather Service, an extended period of hot and humid conditions is expected across central and southern Indiana through Tuesday. Daily high temperatures in the low- to mid-90s with heat indices approaching 100 during the afternoon may be hazardous for sensitive and vulnerable populations. Take extra precautions if spending time outside during the peak heating hours of the day.
According to FEMA, there are several ways to keep cool this summer. They include drinking lots of water, finding air conditioning, wearing sunscreen, and avoiding strenuous activities.
