Available items include supplies for individuals, such as hats, misters and sunscreen, as well as supplies for organizations and facilities, including coolers, insulated backpacks and wagons. Organizations are also invited to suggest additional items to be made available for community outreach, according to the city.
The City of Phoenix has already filled requests for heat relief supplies made by a number of organizations.

Some of the supplies distributed include:

More than 2,000 wide-brimmed hats.
More than 4,500 spray sunscreens.
More than 500 personal misters.
