Heat waves like the one the National Weather Service
predicts for this weekend can be dangerous, especially for those at risk for
heat-related illness.
With highs in the 80s and 90s this weekend, residents
without air conditioning can find places to escape the heat using a web map
created by Hennepin County. Young children, senior citizens and people who are
sick or overweight are most vulnerable.
Maps are available for desktop or mobile
devices.
Find cooling locations
Use the map to find cool options throughout Hennepin County, including Salvation Army buildings, libraries, recreation centers, movie theaters and shopping malls.
The map allows residents to zoom in on specific locations in neighborhoods and find addresses, hours of operation and more.
View more interactive
maps
The public can use a variety of Hennepin County interactive
mapping applications to find parks, beaches, bikeways and more
this summer.
See the
full list of Hennepin County mapping applications.
