Open all ways to help →Quick answers
I need help during extreme heat.
Start with heat safety education, cooling resources, and events. If symptoms are severe or someone is confused, fainting, or unable to cool down, treat it as urgent.
I want to help but only have a little time.
Choose a small role: check on a neighbor, share the cooling kit, support a bus stop, or sign up for a short volunteer opportunity.
My organization has space or supplies.
Use the offer space, supply hub, or outreach partner pages so CoolKC can connect your capacity with the larger heat response network.
CoolKC works when Kansas City works together.
Choose one clear next step — get help, check on someone, share supplies, offer space, or connect your organization to the summer heat response.
