City Resilience Hubs Offer Summer Resources

Summers are getting hotter. The City and area partners are teaming up to bring you information on how you can protect yourself, family, friends, and pets from the heat. Events will take place at each of the six City Resilience Hubs. Resilience Hubs are spaces with resources to help meet needs before, during, and after an emergency. They are all community and senior centers that offer programming and social services.
