City of Farmington Hills to Provide Cooling Centers June 10–11

Cooling sites will offer relief from extreme heat for Farmington Hills residents

 

In anticipation of extreme heat on Wednesday–Thursday, June 10–11, the City of Farmington Hills will open two cooling centers to support residents seeking relief.

 

Costick Activities Center

• Location: 28600 W. Eleven Mile Road, between Middlebelt and Inkster Roads.
• Dates and Hours of Operation: Wednesday–Thursday, June 10–11, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

 

Fire Station 5 

• Location: 31455 W. Eleven Mile Road on the Farmington Hills City Hall campus
• Dates and Hours of Operation: Wednesday–Thursday, June 10–11, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

 

Summer heat can contribute to poor air quality and can affect the health of older adults, children and people with respiratory conditions. Community members are encouraged to check on family, friends, neighbors and pets to help ensure everyone stays healthy and safe.

 

The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments encourages residents to take voluntary steps to reduce emissions and help limit ozone formation, including:

 

• Delay mowing the lawn until evening or another day. Exhaust from lawn mowers and other gas‑powered equipment contributes to ozone formation.
• Drive less by telecommuting, biking or walking. These options reduce traffic congestion and air pollution while saving money.
• Avoid refueling vehicles during daylight hours. Fumes released at the pump contribute to ozone formation.
• Delay or combine errands to help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution.
• Reduce electricity use by adjusting thermostats a few degrees warmer and turning off lights, computers and other devices when not in use.
•
