Please fix the cooling situation on Roosevelt Island. Dangerous!Michael Kennedy (@mkennedy39) July 19, 2017
@nypl Your “cooling center” is actually a “heating center” – hotter inside the Library (~95) than it is outside. Big health issue. Help!Michael Kennedy (@mkennedy39) July 20, 2017
According to the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC):
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for New York City. Therefore, on Wednesday, 7/19/17 and Thursday, 7/20/17 the cooling center will remain at the Roosevelt Island Senior Center (546 Main St) from 9AM to 9PM.
As a reminder, a cooling center will be made available when the heat index becomes dangerously high. Individuals without air conditioning, particularly those at risk for heat-related illness, should use established cooling centers during a heat wave.
This afternoon, Roosevelt Island seniors were relaxing 
at the Senior Center Cooling Center.
