CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — City of Corpus Christi announces City Public Libraries and Senior Centers available for neighbors to as Cooling Centers during normal business hours
Due to the record-breaking heat we are expecting this week, the City of Corpus Christi has announced that neighbors can use the City Libraries and Senior Centers as cooling centers. Neighbors can stop by during normal business hours to keep cool during the week. According to a release from the city, CCRTA will allow neighbors to ride fare-free. All they have to do is tell their Bus Operator they are wanting a ride to the nearest cooling center.
According to the release, residents are advised to take precautions when working or spending time outside, as excessive temperatures increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles.
