Hackensack NJ, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco has announced the opening of several emergency cooling centers throughout the County to help residents stay safe during the current heat wave, as temperatures are expected to climb over 90 degrees.
Cooling centers will be open tomorrow, Tuesday, June 18th through Friday, June 21st from 9am – 6pm.
In addition, several municipalities are designating public spaces such as public libraries, shopping centers, recreation, and senior centers as cooling centers. Residents should consider visiting municipal cooling centers before traveling to the County facility to help avoid heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
Residents requiring a ride to a County emergency cooling center may call 201-394-2882 between the hours of 6:30am and 3:00pm. Emergency requests may be arranged after hours by dialing 201-707-1082.
It is recommended that residents stay indoors if possible from 11am to 3pm when the sun is at its strongest and burns and heat strokes are more likely to occur. All age groups are at risk for heat stroke so please take necessary precautions if you have to be outdoors, including wearing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and staying properly hydrated.
