## Resource

Portland’s sweltering heat this weekend isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s dangerous. Libraries, malls, splash pads, and community centers are open as cooling hubs, while emergency crews are on high alert. The CHAT team, normally handling overdoses, is now focused on heat emergencies, ready to respond to rising calls. For life-threatening cases, firefighters deploy TACO—Tarp Assisted Cooling with Oscillation—to rapidly lower core temperatures. Watch for heat stroke signs: red, hot, dry skin, pounding headache, fast pulse, or loss of consciousness. If you see it, call 911 immediately. Stay cool, stay safe.
