The Portland area is expecting a potential record setting heat wave this weekend. We encourage everyone to please take care of yourself, become familiar with the signs of heat stroke, and if you are able, check in on those who may be more vulnerable. Living in the northwest, air conditioning is not a feature in everyone’s homes. Below you can find some resources for cooling shelters and tips on how to stay cool and safe.
