(KLZA)--Extreme heat is forecast for the next several days. The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services wants residents to know there are services available for those who need help beating the heat.
Part of that help is an offer to pay the air conditioning bills of the most vulnerable Nebraskans.
Another way the department is trying to help is through an outreach program that gives cooling fans to Nebraskans in need.
Fans are distributed through local organizations. Richardson County residents that need fans to help stay cool may contact the Southeast Nebraska Community Action office. In Falls City the number is 402-245-5284.
To find out if a local organization near you is participating contact your nearest DHHS office.
For more information, go to the access Nebraska website, or call 1-800-383-4278.
