San Ramon Libraries: Both the San Ramon Library (100 Montgomery St) and Dougherty Station Library (17017 Bollinger Canyon Rd) are activated during severe heat
As the Tri-Valley area is surrounded by hills that prevent coastal winds from cooling the area, temperatures are expected to continue to rise into the 90s over the next week.
California Health Officials are urging residents to watch for warning signs of heart stroke, which include dizziness, blurred vision, dry, red skin, and confusion, among others.
Risk is higher in vulnerable populations, such as seniors and young children, unhoused individuals, and those without access to air conditioning. It’s crucial to check in on any friends and neighbors who meet these indicators.
Heat stroke is a very serious condition that can lead to severe, long-term damage or even death. If you or someone you know may be experiencing heat stroke, seek medical care immediately or dial 911.
