For the safety of staff and other cooling center visitors, a simple health screen will be performed. The screening consists of taking a visitor's temperature with an infrared thermometer, and a few simple yes or no questions. To ensure access and maintain space, all large belongings, such as bicycles, should remain outside. While cooling down, residents have access to bottled water, free Wi-Fi and outlets to charge devices. For additional cooling tips, visit the Santa Clara County website bit.ly/heatsafetytipsSCC.
