Hot Weather Safety
Stay Safe in Hot Weather
We are expecting extreme temperatures in Oregon during the next week.
Cooling centers
To find cooling shelters in Oregon and SW Washington, people can call 211 or use the 2-1-1 online database or mobile app and search for “extreme heat” or “cooling centers” (for day spaces).

Non-Emergency Transportation
When the National Weather Service issues a hot weather advisory, Trillium members can use non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) to get rides to cooling centers. You can do this until the hot weather advisory ends.
