In 2021, heat-related illnesses caused 552 deaths in Arizona, as reported by the Arizona Department of Health Services.
“Our goal for the respite centers is to reduce heat-related illnesses in our community,” said Joanna Brace, Glendale’s heat relief logistic coordinator. “Anybody who needs to get out of the heat can come to these centers.”Heat relief centers are locations that provide refuge from the heat during the day. In other words, centers provide a cool, often indoor, environment where people can come and take a break from the harsh sun.
The first is a hydration station. These stations can be indoor or outdoor areas where individuals stop by to receive bottled water. Glendale has two hydration stations. These locations are meant to be more of a stop-and-go. Pets are not allowed. The next type is a cooling center. Cooling centers are indoor, air-conditioned areas where individuals can stop in, have a beverage, and take a brief break from the heat. Glendale has eight cooling stations. Pets are not allowed.
Lastly, respite centers. Like cooling stations, respite centers offer indoor, air-conditioned spaces and beverages. The main difference is that respite centers give individuals the chance to rest or sleep without interruption. Glendale’s three new respite centers offer food, mats for sleeping, and all are pet friendly.Larkspur Church: 10614 N. 43rd Ave, open Monday/Tuesday/Thursday from 12-8 p.m., Wednesday from 12-6 p.m., and Friday/Saturday from 12-9 p.m.St. John’s Lutheran Church: 7205 N.
