Excessive heat is uncommon in Western Oregon, and the forecast is hot and hotter the next few days.
Many homeowners and apartment dwellers do not have air conditioning.These conditions offer the option to depart from business as usual. Employers can help by reminding employees to stay hydrated, carry extra water in their cars, and limit physical activity during the hottest part of the day. Employers may also encourage employees that work outdoors to take more shade breaks.
Those in the housing industry may activate a system to check on the elderly. If you don't have one, this would be a good time to create one. Humanitarian organizations may distribute bottled water to persons on the street. Cooling centers may be activated. If your church is interested in operating as a cooling center contact the city to initiate the process.
