These locations, which include both green areas and municipal facilities, aim to protect citizens, with a special focus on vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, or people with chronic illnesses. However, access is open to the entire population.
The local infrastructure is divided into outdoor spaces, such as parks with dense shade, and indoor facilities like libraries, civic centers, or swimming pools. According to municipal data, a large portion of the population has one of these points within 300 meters of their home.
The indoor spaces must meet comfort requirements, such as maintaining a temperature of around 27 degrees, ensuring accessibility, and providing free drinking water. This measure coincides with the alert activated by the Generalitat de Catalunya through the PROCICAT plan.
