Inclement Weather today, Saturday June 26^th, 2021 through at least Monday, June 28^th, 2021. Around 30 daytime cooling stations are available at varying times and on varying days throughout the region. We’ve consolidated those resources at https://cooling.pchomeless.org/ .

 

Ride for free on a pierce transit bus route to get to a cooling station – info at https://www.piercetransit.org/news/?id=515

 

If you are doing outreach to encampments, bottled water is available for pickup at the Stability Site - 1423 Puyallup Ave, Tacoma, WA.

 

The Health Department website has a very succinct review of symptoms and actions to take for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke – worth a quick review: https://www.tpchd.org/healthy-places/emergency-preparedness/keep-cool . Cooling stations are certainly about comfort, but they are also about staying alive.

 

Keep cool,

-Gerrit
