Stay cool this weekend, Gresham!

🌡Higher temps are in the forecast this weekend and into next week. A little preparation goes a long way.

Make a plan to:
✅ Stay cool and hydrated.
✅ Open windows only when it’s cooler outside.
✅ Never leave pets or children in hot cars.
✅ Check on others: family, friends and neighbors — especially those who might be vulnerable to the heat: multco.us/hot

🔎 Use the interactive map to find cool spaces including libraries, splash pads and community centers:

When gardening or taking care of your lawn, keep our waterways in mind.
Irresponsible fertilizer use can contribute to harmful algal blooms (HABs).

Excess fertilizer can wash into waterways, where nutrients fuel algae growth. HABs reduce oxygen in the water, and can make water unsafe for swimming and fishing.
