The scorching summer heat in Arizona is nothing new to the millions of people who live in the state; however, this doesn’t stop the more than 3,000 reported emergency room visits and 250 deaths linked to heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses from happening every year in our state.
For this reason, the city and county governments of Pima, Yuma, and Maricopa have established a variety of free water stations and “cooling centers” open to the public. A digital map showing all these locations is available on the Arizona Department of Health Services website.
Cooling centers in Tucson are located on:
1082 E Ajo Way – La Frontera RAPP Project Connect
101 West Irvington Rd – Ward 5 (El Pueblo Center)
2910 North Flowing Wells Rd- La Frontera Center Magnotto House
1390 W Speedway Blvd – El Rio Neighborhood Center
8155 East Poinciana Drive – William M. Clements Center
2797 East Ajo Way – Kino One Stop
1625 S 3rd Ave – Salvation Army South Corps Community Center
