~ As temperatures in Tacoma, Washington are expected to reach the 90s starting on Sunday, July 7, the City of Tacoma's Neighborhood and Community Services Department is taking action to support its residents. The city has announced that it will be deploying outreach teams and volunteers to provide unsheltered individuals with access to water and masks. Additionally, cooling centers will be opened throughout the city.

According to Maria Lee, the Media & Communications representative for the City of Tacoma, these measures are being taken in order to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents during this heatwave. "We want to make sure that our most vulnerable community members have access to resources that can help them stay cool and hydrated," Lee stated.

The city has also worked with its providers to expand shelter capacity when temperatures reach or exceed 90 degrees or when the Air Quality Index reaches 151 or higher. This means that non-emergent encampment removals from public property and City rights-of-way will be paused during inclement weather events that meet this threshold.

In addition, two additional shelter locations will be made available for those experiencing homelessness. Catholic Community Services' Nativity House will offer an additional 80 shelter beds for individuals over 18 years old, while Beacon Young Adult Shelter will provide an extra 20 beds for young adults aged 18-24.

The Tacoma Public Library system is also stepping up to help during this heatwave by providing water on inclement weather days and offering their locations as cooling centers during regular operating hours. A list of library locations and hours can be found on their website.

Pierce County is also partnering with local providers and the Pierce County Library System to provide cooling center resources and locations in Tacoma and surrounding areas.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed about inclement weather resources by visiting cityoftacoma.org/inclementresources. They can also sign up for Tacoma Alert, which provides updates on inclement weather, natural disasters, and other emergency incidents.

For any questions about City of Tacoma services, residents can reach out to the Tacoma FIRST 311 Customer Support Center through the Tacoma FIRST 311 mobile app, the city's website, or by dialing 311 within city limits and (253) 591-5000 from anywhere else. The city is committed to supporting its residents during this heatwave and ensuring their safety and well-being.
