Residents seeking relief from the dangerously hot conditions can find resources and information by visiting the County website: Contracosta.ca.gov. The County site includes an interactive map of places to cool and cooling centers. The County is updating these locations on an ongoing basis. The site also provides health safety tips, transportation information, and additional resources and links to help County residents get through the next several days of well-above-normal temperatures that may lead to compounding effects. Anyone concerned about heat-related illness should contact their healthcare providers or, if it's an emergency, call 911. People who are experiencing homelessness and need help can call 211 from anywhere in Contra Costa County to be connected to services. All Contra Costa can also call 211 for information about transportation to places to cool. #ContraCostaCounty #ExtremeHeat #ContraCostaCrisisCenter #Selfcare
