(Beaver County, PA) Marie Timpano of the Cornerstone of Beaver County joined Frank Sparks yesterday on “Driving in the Fast Lane” to talk about the local cooling centers that you can go to during the extremely high temperatures this week. She talked about how great it is when the community comes together for a purpose and how people support each other during situations like this extreme heat warning that the county is going through. Timpano also thanked the partners that her organziation teamed up with to provide these cooling centers to people who need them. Extreme heat can put people and families at a higher risk for heat-related illnesses such as dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and it can exacerbate preexisting conditions like mental illness and lung and heart disease. According to the Cornerstone of Beaver County, here is a complete list of cooling center locations and their hours of operation:
