~ As temperatures are expected to rise into the high 80s and low 90s starting on July 5, the City of Tacoma is urging residents to take precautions and prepare for the heat. According to Maria Lee, the Media and Communications representative for the city, residents should also keep a close eye on vulnerable individuals such as older adults, those with health concerns, and children in their households.
The Neighborhood and Community Services Department of Tacoma will be deploying outreach teams and volunteers to provide unsheltered individuals with access to water and masks as well as information about cooling centers and shelter options throughout the city. This will begin when temperatures reach 85 degrees or higher, which is expected on July 5 and 6.
As temperatures continue to climb above 90 degrees starting on July 7 and into the following week, outreach teams and volunteers will continue their efforts to provide unsheltered individuals with necessary resources. Cooling centers will also be opened throughout Tacoma during this time.
