Even though the city of Chandler's complete, multi-organization heat relief programs aren't prepared to start operations until much later this spring, unseasonably warm March temperatures have East Valley people seeking relief early.
Chandler's Neighborhood Resources Director, Riann Balch, responded to questions about what's being done in the interim to prevent people from being exposed to life- or health-threatening temperatures.
“As temperatures rise this week, the city of Chandler has resources in place to support its residents," Balch said March 19. "Water is available at all library branches, and we encourage the public to take advantage of these cooling spaces and stay hydrated."
