Albany thanks “Safe Place” participants
Ten locations were set up last week to combat record high temperatures
ALBANY, GA – The City of Albany would like to thank all of the community partners who assisted us with Operation Safe Place.
Dougherty County was instrumental in the success of the initiative as well, especially by providing additional locations for us to utilize and helping us get the word out to the community.
Several churches provided locations and services that also made Operation Safe Place possible.
And the media helped spread the word about the initiative so that the community could find the locations available to cool off.
We thank all of you and all of the City departments that were involved in Operation Safe Place for helping protect our community from extremely high temperatures.
The City plans to organize Operation Safe Place any time the temperature hits 100° or higher. However, even as temperatures have gone down slightly from last week, we encourage everyone to try to avoid being in the heat for too long. If you must be outside, please take breaks from the heat frequently and stay hydrated.
