Extreme heat waves are here and we need to make sure everyone in House District 32 knows where they can go to get some relief! I will be sharing some graphics and resources to help keep you informed on what to look out for when dealing with extreme heat and where to go to cool down. Please remember to look out for one another and to give each other grace as we deal with these heat waves.
