Cooling Shelters

Cooling Shelters During Heat Advisories

Heat advisories are monitored by the Westminster Fire Department. When "Major" or "Extreme" heat risk advisories are issued by the National Weather Service - Boulder, the City will notify the community that recreation centers and libraries are available options for residents to keep cool and safe during normal business hours. The facilities listed on this page are generally open during the primary heating hours of the day, providing a cool location to get out of the heat with water and restrooms available (see note).
