Heat Alert Activates Cooling Center
A heat alert for cool center activation has been triggered. With temperatures expected to remain above 99 degrees for the next three to four days in most Riverside County cities, individuals susceptible to heat, such as the elderly and young children are encouraged to locate a cool center if an air conditioned home is unavailable.
The designated cool center in Moreno Valley is located at:
- Moreno Valley Senior Center
25075 Fir Ave.
People with the following symptoms should try to remain in a cool place and drink water to prevent dehydration: headache, dizziness, weakness or muscle pains, and nausea or vomiting.
