In response to increasing temperatures, I created a Heat Task Force that has formulated a response plan for our citizens when extreme heat effects Jacksonville.   Six cooling centers will be activated when the heat index goes over 108 degrees for three straight days, or if the heat index rises above 113 degrees for one day.  For complete information on locations, times, and free ways to get to the cooling centers when they are activated, go to: coj.net/welcome/news/t…   Thank you to all of our safety partners who helped to quickly create this plan to protect our citizens from extreme heat.
