Daytime and nighttime cooling centers open when the National Weather Service declares that the region will be under a Heat Advisory, Watch, or Warning. This triggers overnight cooling shelter when the advisory, watch or warning extends to the hours between 8pm and 8am. Cooling shelters may also be activated when weather conditions do not meet the criteria above after consultation and approval by either the Clackamas County Social Services Division Director or Program Manager.
- For a central number to get information about shelters, transportation or other resources, call 211.
