THE GORGE — With temperatures expected to exceed 100 degrees in the coming days and next week, we encourage the public to take steps to avoid heat-related illness.
During severe weather events, supply bundles are available for those in need at The Gloria Center in The Dalles at 2505 W. Seventh St. during regular business hours. The Gloria Center also operates as an emergency shelter when necessary.
When the emergency shelter is activated, MCCAC notifies community partners and shares information on social media and at mccac.com, shelter specific information can be found at mccac.com/shelter1.
You can call the Gloria Center directly at 541-298-5131. Sherman County residents can also access the Gloria Center’s resources, or contact the Sherman County Office of Emergency Management by calling and leaving a message at 541-565-3100 for more localized help. Those enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan can call 877-875-4657 for shelter transportation options.
Excessive heat causes more deaths than any other weather-related event in the United States. Heat-related illness can affect anyone at any age but is preventable.
