Another dangerous heat wave is impacting Oregon and Southwest Washington over the next several days with temperatures reaching triple digits during the day and offering little relief at night. The American Red Cross Cascades Region is encouraging everyone to take steps now to help prepare them and their families for the heat. Additionally, many areas throughout the Cascades Region already have wildfire activity and there is a danger of more wildfires starting because of the ongoing drought. Red Cross volunteers are prepared to respond and support our community partners, if necessary. Never leave children or pets in your vehicle. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of non-caffeine and non-alcoholic fluids. Check on family, friends and neighbors without air conditioning, who are alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat. If you don't have air conditioning, seek relief from the heat in places like schools, libraries, theaters, malls, etc. Avoid extreme temperature change
