Tips to stay cool in the heatwave. Make sure you are checking in with neighbors, friends and family. Remember your pets paws can burn on the hot concrete and they need to hydrate also! Cooling centers are available I Glastonbury at Welles-Turner Library, Riverfront Community Center, and Academy Building. If you are looking for outside Glastonbury call 2-1-1. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. Hydrate!! Thanks for the graphic Climate Psychiatry Alliance.
