San Marino and ‘Ring’ 
Partner for Subsidy Program

Cooling Centers Open 
During Extreme Weather

 
South Pasadena offers two 
places to keep cool during 
the hottest days of late 
summer and early fall. 

 The South Pasadena Senior 
Center is available from 8 am 
to 5 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, and the South 
Pasadena Public Library will 
be a second place of refuge 
Mondays-Thursdays 10 am - 
6 pm; Fri. 11 am - 9 pm; Sat. 
10 am-5 pm; Sun. 1 pm- 5 
pm.

 Seniors in particular face 
challenges when it comes 
to staying safe during hot 
days. These challenges range 
from health conditions that 
increase sun sensitivity to 
more fragile skin. These 
conditions can put an older 
adult at higher risk of heat-
related illnesses such as sun 
poisoning and heat stroke. 
It’s important to take steps 
to avoid dehydration by 
maximizing fluid intake, 
avoid caffeinated beverages, 
monitor medication side 
effects, schedule outdoor 
time wisely, and wear loose 
fitting clothing. 

 In 2006 the City’s Senior 
Citizen’s Commission 
adopted a “Cooling Center” 
policy to safeguard the older 
adults of the community 
when the temperature 
reaches 96 degrees or higher.

Senior Center at (626)403-
