Tracy Cooling Locations and Staying Safe During Extreme Heat

Summer temperatures in the Central Valley can quickly become dangerous, especially for older adults, young children, individuals with medical conditions, and people experiencing homelessness. As the weather heats up, Tracy Community Connections Center (TCCC) encourages everyone to be aware of local cooling resources and to take steps to protect themselves and their neighbors from heat-related illness.

The City of Tracy has identified several Cooling Locations throughout the community where residents can find relief from extreme temperatures. These facilities provide safe, air-conditioned spaces during designated hours and can be an important resource for anyone who does not have reliable access to cooling at home.

For individuals experiencing homelessness, extreme heat can pose serious health risks. Dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke can develop quickly when temperatures remain high throughout the day. That’s why it’s important to seek shade, drink plenty of water, and take advantage of available cooling centers whenever possible.

The City of Tracy’s Temporary Emergency Housing Facility also offers daytime cooling access. Individuals interested in using this resource should call before 8:00 a.m. at (209) 208-5701 for information and availability.

At TCCC, our outreach team regularly works with community members who are vulnerable to extreme weather conditions. We encourage everyone to check on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone who may be spending time outdoors during periods of excessive heat. Sharing information about cooling locations could help prevent a medical emergency.

If you see someone who appears to be struggling in the heat, help connect them with available resources and cooling options. Small acts of kindness and awareness can make a significant difference during the hottest months of the year.

Please review the City of Tracy Cooling Locations schedule and share it with anyone who may benefit. Together, we can help keep our community safe, healthy, and connected this summer.
