Cooling Stations
Rotating Outage Cooling Stations
Should high temperatures coincide with imminent or declared rotating outages in your neighborhood, community businesses and organizations have volunteered their facilities to serve as Rotating Outage "Cooling Stations" — places where customers with medical conditions that make them unusually sensitive to extreme temperatures can go to cool off.
Where to Go
We have a list of Volunteer Cooling Station Locations (PDF) available for your review.
Customers sensitive to extreme temperatures can be placed on a list to be notified whenever the ISO announces imminent or declared rotating outages affecting their homes. Here you will find registration instructions for SCE's Extreme Temperature Sensitivity notification service (PDF).
To help you avoid the most common health risks associated with prolonged exposure to high temperatures, please review our publication "Sweating Out a Heat Wave" (PDF).
NOTE: Separate and apart from the Rotating Outage Cooling Stations, some governmental entities and community-based organizations may be offering "Cool Centers" targeted at low-income and/or senior populations in the extreme, hot climate areas within Southern California Edison's service territory. These "Cool Centers" are meant to ease the energy burden of the targeted populations.
These Cool Centers will not be exempt from rotating outages.
