‘Cool Zones’ open for the summer

LA MESA (CNS) – The county of San Diego and San Diego Gas & Electric
this week kicked off their annual Cool Zones program — public places where seniors
can find air conditioning to beat the summer heat.

More than 100 Cool Zones are available around the region, marked by a
blue sign with a polar bear symbol. Most of them are at libraries, senior
centers and recreation centers.

Locations can be found online at sdge.com/tools/summer/coolzones, a page
that includes a tool that can display the closest site to a particular address.

Sites can also be found by calling (800) 510-2020, ext. 6. The service
runs through Oct. 15.

Many older homes don't have air conditioning.
