"Health Officials Issue Heat Wave Safety Guide Amidst Rising Temperatures"

Multnomah County officials in Portland, Oregon, have no plans to open cooling shelters as temperatures are expected to reach the 90s on the Fourth of July. Libraries will also be closed for the holiday, limiting options for residents without air conditioning. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the area, and officials will monitor the forecast and adjust plans as needed. The Joint Office of Homeless Services is providing outreach and hot weather supplies to the unsheltered homeless population. Shopping centers and stores may be open, but hours will vary. Those in need of a place to cool down should dial 2-1-1.
