Tucson Expands Cooling Centers for Heat Safety

Tucson and Pima County are rolling out expanded cooling centers this summer, open daily from noon to four PM through September 30th — that’s a whole extra month compared to last year. Strategically placed along public transit routes, these centers are part of a broader Heat Relief Network designed to keep everyone safe during extreme heat, especially seniors, kids, and unhoused residents. The network also includes hydration stations, respite sites, and libraries, all coordinated by local governments, tribal nations, nonprofits, and faith groups. Find your nearest spot using Pima County’s online heat-relief map, or call 211 for help locating a center or getting transportation. Stay cool, stay safe — and check on your neighbors.
