The City of Rosemead will activate its cooling centers due to a heat advisory from the National Weather Service. High temperatures of 95° or greater are expected on Saturday, October 5th through Monday, October 7th.  Cooling Centers provide a safe and air-conditioned space for residents to escape the heat.  The Cooling Center is located at 9108 Garvey Avenue, Garvey Community Center (GCC), and will be open between the hours of 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Services available to Rosemead residents include open seating and restrooms. Meals and beverages will not be provided; however, those visiting the GCC are welcome to bring their own snacks and food.  

The City of Rosemead encourages residents to check on neighbors and family members, especially seniors, who may be sensitive to extreme heat. Residents are encouraged to take precautions to stay healthy during a heatwave by drinking plenty of water, limiting activities to cooler times of the day, wearing lightweight and comfortable clothing, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun.
