We have we've been doing the cooling center program in the summers since the late nineties and it is, you know, one of our standard programs.
0:23:18
We as everyone has said here, we know that people are vulnerable.
0:23:21
We have fantastic partners.
0:23:23
All of the libraries, the older adult centers, community centers, know, partners that we've brought in.
0:23:31
And so we stand by that program.
0:23:34
We are very proud that, know, last year at the beginning of the season we had over 600 facilities that were signed up.
0:23:41
Obviously not every facility is open every day.
0:23:44
But by contrast, in the city of Chicago, they opened six cooling centers across the city when we're opening hundreds.
0:23:53
As we said in 2020, the extensive legislation was passed.
0:23:58
We now put a plan on our website.
0:24:00
We update it every year.
0:24:01
We have over the last couple of years been able to change the cooling center finder from a just in time application to something that is 20 fourseven.
0:24:10
So even today when it's cold out, people can go on and they can look and plan if they want for the summer.
0:24:17
So, you know, we feel like a lot of what is covered in the bill is already covered by our daily operations and by the 2020 legislation.
0:24:26
But for the cooling center part of the bill, you know, we don't have any serious roadblocks.
