When you open a shelter or cooling center in response to the current heat wave (or during future weather events), please remember to contact Connecticut 2-1-1 so that we can list your cooling center or other emergency services in our 2-1-1 database.
Help Keep Us Up to Date When your municipality opens a cooling center, please email the following information to [email protected] for inclusion in our emergency resource listing: 1. Location of the cooling center 2. Dates/Times of operation 3. Who is eligible to visit the center? Residents only? 4. Is the site handicapped accessible? 5. Are pets welcome? 6. What should individuals bring with them? 7. Contact name and phone number
