Town of Oyster Bay Warming Centers Now Open

By Priscila Korb

With temperatures reaching below 25 degrees on Long Island, Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano and Hempstead Town Supervisor Anthony J. Santino both announced the opening of several warming center locations on Tuesday.

“I invite neighbors who don’t have enough heat to seek shelter at one of the town’s 16 warming centers,” Santino said. “Freezing temperatures can be dangerous for everyone, especially seniors, who may have a hard time regulating their body temperature and staying warm.”
