How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — In response to the forecasted extreme heat, facilities that are part of the Lake County Community Organizations Active in Disaster Resilience Hub Network are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of the community by opening for cooling this week.
These centers will provide a safe and cool environment for residents to escape the heat.
The non-governmental organizations that are part of the Community Organizations Active in Disaster, or COAD, which will open for the first time in this capacity in response to the early July heat event are the Cobb Mountain Lions Club, Galilee Lutheran Church, Kelseyville Senior Center, Lakeport Senior Center, Lucerne Alpine Senior Center and United Christian Parish.
With temperatures expected to soar above 100, it is crucial for everyone, especially vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and those with preexisting health conditions, to take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses.
The county of Lake does not routinely open official extreme weather centers; however, there are numerous county operated facilities with routine open hours that are excellent cooling/warming options such as libraries and peer centers.

Personal water bottles, which can be filled at the centers, are encouraged to reduce single use plastic waste.
