When extreme heat arrives in Orange County, stay safe and find relief from soaring temperatures at a local cooling center from the Orange County Cooling Center directory below.
Stay Cool
Avoid being outside in the direct heat for a long time. Try to stay in air-conditioned spaces, at home with your A/C set between 75-80, or at your local library, shopping mall, or community center. If staying home, keep blinds closed and wear loose, light-colored, lightweight clothing.
Stay Hydrated
Sip water all day and consider supplementing with sports drinks. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
Look After Each Other
Check in on friends and family and have them do the same for you.
