Amid Los Angeles County’s warm weather, vulnerable populations such as the elderly who do not live in air-conditioned homes may need relief from the heat. To meet this need, Los Angeles County has opened emergency cooling centers, including one in Burbank at the Buena Vista Branch Library Meeting Room
The library is located at 300 N. Buena Vista St. and the cooling center there will be open through Monday, Aug. 17, from noon-6 p.m.
Visitors are required to bring and wear a face covering at such centers and will be subject to a health screening before they are allowed entry.
While everyone visiting the center is required to practice physical distancing, remaining six feet from staff members and other guests, visitors are allowed to sit closer to members of their household.
Visitors who have COVID-19 symptoms — cough, fever or difficulty breathing — or are actively following isolation or quarantine orders are not allowed in the centers. Hand sanitizer, soap and water, or other disinfectant will be available at each location.
The Buena Vista Library is not open for normal operations at this time.
