about this worm and then how they gave like some good word like outside gail i have some of my friends there is i don't even know his name but i will ask hey avery um yeah we're going to go to a cooling center and uh around that area and just ask people what they do to cool off um and their thoughts just on the current heat um because we're all dying currently what was your name avery avery hi folks i'm andrew um yeah we're going to be going to cooling centers asking some questions about the heat and yeah yeah so good to thank you for allowing us to talk to you real quick um so my first question for you ten right is it right yep um how did what is your main technique for staying cool during these last couple of days my main technique drink lots of water you know just drink lots of water that's the main thing so that you don't get dehydrated and uh then the other thing is uh just be cool don't you know if you don't have to don't don't do too much don't work if you don't have to work outside don't if you do work outside do it early and if you have to work if you're outside during the heat of the day um big hat sunscreen drink lots of water yeah and take it easy don't you know just it's good advice good advice do you know about the cooling centers of the city that they set up i don't i don't know anything about that okay if you knew about the cooling centers do you think you would go um i don't think for me i wouldn't be necessary i'm lucky enough to to have some air conditioning in my house so i just go home and sit in the room with the air conditioning shut the door you know yeah so i you know i i don't need that i understand that there are many many many other people who don't have that privilege like i do so uh these things it's a wonderful thing it's a good thing well thank you for talking with us today okay guys have a good one and you do the same thanks hi prince um good to meet you and good to speak with you today um i got some couple questions for you what is your main technique for staying cool these last couple of days uh my main technique is probably staying home like find a place to have like ac or like fans and stuff because lately you've been getting hot like this weather nowadays if you go like under the sun it's like not good for you yeah i um i would akin it to being like taking damage like one percent just standing under the sun another question do you know about the city's cooling centers i've never heard about it um have you considered doing something like that i mean i know you said you go to different places just look for ac but like uh if you knew about a cooling center would you go yeah i would go yeah only what only like outside is like really hot and then i can just go to that place you just chill there yeah okay okay um thank you for speaking with us yeah your name's prince right cool like the singer yeah so hi zack um my name is andrew um this is avery and we're going to ask you some questions about the heat for the last couple of days um do you my mic do you um what is your like your main technique for staying cool for like the last couple of days staying hydrated it's a big one it's hard to stay in air-conditioned spaces with with my work in the parks department so it's important to stay hydrated for me um in the shade if i can um certainly swimming but we're obviously struggling with lake champlain right now um i'm not a ton of time without either but i love love staying hydrated i love staying cool anyway i can i love the heat when there's water so every once in a while i'll take a cold shower even i guess all good things cool um do you know about the city's like mandated cooling centers um i have heard a little bit about them yeah i believe there might even be one in this building but i'm not sure i wouldn't what what are the nature of these cooling centers oh i believe they just provide a public space for people to stay on when there is severe heat you know to the point where it impacts public safety um um do you see yourself like traveling to another cooling center today or no no i was pleased to see how well the ac is working in here today when i got back i was out in the field a lot of the day and um yeah my apartment's not as cool as here but it's certainly cooler than some places and um you know i feel very grateful to have a place that's comfortable enough you know personally so i'll say that's those spots for people who might need them yeah cool well thank you for your time yeah thank you guys so i just forgot your name i'm juliana juliana um thank you for speaking with us this is an interview with cctv um i'm going to ask you some questions about the heat and like how do you like cope with the heat pretty much okay is what is your main technique for coping with the heat um i think i try to maybe go swimming in the lake well obviously it's you can't swim in the lake right now but we're in a pool or drinking lots of water um maybe taking cold showers some things like that yeah all good things okay um that's cool do you know about the cooling centers i have not heard of the cooling centers before okay and if you knew about the cooling centers would you go i'm not sure um i've been working here this week and so we've just been staying inside a lot and um i'd probably probably go to my house where we have some air conditioning and stuff like that okay well thank you for your time thank you so nadia um thank you for allowing us to interview um do you know do you know if the city of vermont right so question do you know if the city has like done cooling centers before um i don't not to my knowledge i have no idea um what how do you stay cool during this heat honestly just drinking a lot of water and making sure like you're not spending too much time outside and like working out outside like spending less time outside if you're working out outside okay um any advice for people that like are traveling during this time um honestly once again drinking a lot of water but um staying hydrated yeah trying to stay inside even if you're like an outdoorsy person trying to stay inside um and also for people with pets to like make sure that their pets have water right gotta support the pet parents um yeah that's cool well thank you for speaking with us all right coming back to y'all we've uh visited some cooling centers we've talked to some folks um what did y'all think that thing i'm thinking about like when you go in the sun is too hot but when you're coming under the shadow of that tree you can feel like good and excited of yourself and your body that way you feel so that's the only things i think what do you think about um i found the cooling center is really interesting before today i didn't even know that um those were things that existed um and i think that's a really cool ha ha pun um a really cool like option for people that don't have a c and it's like a way to cool themselves off and yeah yeah my final thoughts are stay cool and cooling centers should be more of a thing everywhere my name is alex and you're watching town meeting tv hi welcome my name is akila and we're about to do a kilo on the beat i'm here with my lovely co-host chains here with olivia and today we're going to be talking about the historic flooding that's been sweeping all of vermont we're going to talk to some people and see what they think stay tuned yeah let's go all right let's go um have you known anyone that's been personally affected by the floods are you yourself uh yeah i own hallow herb farm it's a medicinal herb farm here at the interrail and i also work for pitchfork farm and yeah we've both been flooded out right now um and how have you guys been able to like cope with those things or what is like the recovery process that you guys might be going through to deal with the thunderstorm that's coming this afternoon well we're just trying to basically get everything kind of secure as much as we can now and um we did a lot of things as the flood was coming in to like get the tractors in and get all the infrastructure in as much as possible and then before the flood hit it was really fast we had short notice so we had a lot of like volunteers and people come down and just try to harvest as much as we possibly could before the waters hit that's very devastating and i'm sorry that you were affected um do you feel like the community definitely like rally behind you um and again like the communal support that was available during the floods yeah there is a lot of people came out and um people have been really nice like donating food and donating like water and like different things like that so it seems like the community has been really good and people have been pretty aware and now a lot of people want to help now but we can't even really get out to our fields far enough to really assess the damage yet so we're still we're in the very beginning of recovery phase so we're just going to talk a little bit about these floods that have been happening do you know anybody that's been personally affected by the floods um only in minor ways luckily so nothing major anything you want to spill uh just events that have been canceled and people's landscapes that have been messed up but not their houses okay and just one more question how do you feel about it do you feel like it may affect i know you just said you worked in the garden house like do you think it'll affect any of your business or just general effects on the community at all yeah i think it'll affect our business a little bit but hopefully we'll bounce back pretty quickly afterwards too so you know people have to focus on recovery and not shopping and gardening and things like that right now but they'll get back to it absolutely have you yourselves or anybody that you know been personally affected by the floods yeah i actually have a friend who has a bar down in Ludlow and that should just got flooded completely it's very messed up he's gonna have to either sell it or do something else with it um but yeah i don't know there's been a lot of flooding up here and all global warming related so definitely yes exactly i didn't personally no i haven't had too many personal issues with the flood but i've seen a lot of businesses just destroyed total like sucks to see you want to see the community get better yeah definitely yeah i haven't had a lot of personal issues with the floods either but i've seen like mont peeler and pictures and all the flooding there and it's terrible and i hope i'm praying everybody is safe and you know hopefully it clears out and you know with the storm coming tonight i hope everyone is getting prepared or ready for that as well because it's gonna be detrimental probably yeah how are you guys gonna be hunkering down for the flood that's about to come you have some games in mind or i'm gonna try to do some deliveries because i'm making money right now yeah totally if the roads aren't too bad though isn't there there's gonna be a tornado warning up here i heard that yeah that's never like happened in her mind with major disasters left and right yeah it's crazy so are you guys gonna be doing working yeah yeah we're probably we're going to our probably our colleges and e-sports center and just gonna stay in there for the whole storm maybe and just yeah either inside yeah keep indoors what school are you guys at oh a Champlain Champlain College okay hey neighbors i'm a Champlain student okay well thank you guys so
