The Camden County Health Officer, Robert J. Smith, has issued a heat alert for Camden from noon to 8 p.m. today. Residents should contact the municipal building in their municipality for the location of a cooling center in their area.
“When the Camden County Health Officer issues a Heat Alert, municipalities are notified that it would be appropriate to open municipal cooling centers to the public. Each municipality in Camden County has identified and is responsible for activating its own municipal cooling center,” said Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez, liaison to the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services. “Please remember to check on elderly relatives and neighbors during the heat emergency, and do not over exert yourself outdoors in the sun.”
