**Sauvie Island Community Cooling Centers**

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We may have extreme heat again toward the end of this week. We will not open the SI cooling center unless we know we will have clients. Please keep checking in with your heat exposure medically at risk neighbors starting midweek. If you have any SI residents who need the cooling center, please call or text Michael Rubenstein at 503-729-3086.

PS Many people go to rivers to cool off -- right now parts of the Willamette have harmful algae blooms at levels that are potentially deadly for pets: https://www.multco.us/multnomah-county/news/toxic-algae-harmful-pets-detected-willamette-river
