City plans cool zone if temperatures soar above 100


By Keith Purtell
Phoenix Staff Writer

Summer temperatures are creeping towards the danger zone.

City of Muskogee Emergency Management Director Jimmy Moore said he hopes the public will place a special emphasis on checking on the elderly.

“We don’t want any heat-related deaths or illnesses,” he said.

Moore said the city plans to open a cool zone, depending on weather conditions.

“When the National Weather Service predicts actual temperatures at or above 100 degrees for three consecutive days, we’ll open the cool zone,” he said.

The zone will be upstairs in the Muskogee Civic Center in Room F.

“Anyone with a need for cooling please enter on the south end and use the stairs or the elevator,” Moore said.

There will also be water, refreshments and light snacks.

Moore said there will be some limits on hours.

“We expect to be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.,” he said. “We will not be open at night. There will be no overnight stays.”

How to help

To donate bottled water, soda or snacks, call Muskogee Emergency Management Director Jimmy Moore at 684-6295.
