As the extremely warm temperatures continue throughout this week, there are locations in Dallas County for people to cool off. 

Various cooling centers in Dallas County include the Perry, Adel, Dallas Center, Minburn and DeSoto Public Libraries and Dallas County Emergency Management Specialist Josh Heward talks about how these places serve as cooling centers. 

“Cooling centers are just areas where people can go and get out of the excessive heat. Cooling centers offer limited to no services beyond what is offered in the building. It’s a place to just get in the air conditioning, maybe get a drink of water. Cooling centers are open to the public during their normal business hours.”
