The Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio wants to remind the community that extreme heat and humidity pose health risks for older adults, especially those with chronic conditions. All of the organization's senior centers are open this week.
Seniors are advised to stay out of the heat, drink plenty of fluids, and refrain from heavy exercise. If possible, seek relief with family or friends who have air-conditioning or go to an air-conditioned place: malls, libraries or one of these sites, for at least part of the day.
The following air-conditioned sites will serve as Emergency Cooling Centers offering some relief to seniors from the potential dangers of the forecast of extreme heat and humidity.
