The City of Boston, acting through the Office of Emergency Management, has procured misting tents as another resource to support the City during hot summer days. These tents may be available to community-based organizations (CBOs) that have public events this summer with access to potable water. The cooling kits are mobile water misting tents designed for short-term use to easily set up and disassemble and provide immediate cooling. Each cooling kit includes a hose, misters, and a tent to set up at public outdoor events throughout the summer.
Supplies are limited. We will prioritize distribution based on your ability to deploy during a heat event. Please note that kits are to be picked up at the City of Boston's Emergency Operations Center, located in Roxbury.
