With 90-plus degree temperatures expected through the end of the workweek, the City of Lexington has activated the first phase of its heat plan. Four cooling centers will be open through Friday and Jeff Herron, the city’s homeless prevention manager, said local nonprofits and the city are stepping up efforts to protect the most vulnerable.
“Our street outreach teams are also going to be out in the field doing things like distributing supplies like bottled water and sunscreen, but also just checking on people making sure that they are aware of the predicted conditions.”
