Communities open cooling centers to help those without power from storms

With several Southwestern Pennsylvania communities expected to be without power for days after strong storms brought down trees and wires, neighbors are stepping up to help.

Communities are starting to set up locations where people without power can stop in to cool down or charge their devices. Channel 11 is compiling a list of locations where those without power can get assistance.

If a location or organization providing relief is missing, let us know by emailing desk@wpxi.com.
