Full Notification

Several City departments, including the Fremont Police Department, have taken steps to try and assist our community during these extreme weather conditions.   
 
During the course of their duty day, all patrol supervisors, officers, VIPS and our Patrol MET team members are carrying ice chests filled with water to provide community members they come in contact with today.  Police field employees will also be handing out literature to members of our community with information about the risks of extreme heat conditions and the location of the City's cooling centers. In addition, the Tri-City Animal Shelter is making arrangements to set up a cooling area for owners and their pets who may need relief from the heat during the day.
 
The forecast for the next few days suggest that extreme heat will continue with today being the hottest day. Temperatures are projected to be lower towards the end of the week and into the weekend. As the extreme heat can cause heat exhaustion and in the most extreme cases even death it is important that special precautions are taken. 
Here are a few helpful tips to Beat the Heat today:

1. Drink plenty of cool water throughout the day.
2. Keep the house as cool as possible by keeping shades closed during the hottest part of the day.
3. Wear layers of lightweight clothing 
4. Enjoy cooling snacks like popsicles, and fruit.
5. Visit local cooling centers.
