COOLING CENTERS!

With dangerously hot weather expected over the coming days, its important to keep yourself safe.

If you or someone you know needs a cool place to escape the heat, there are various cooling centers are available throughout the County.

A few reminders to help you beat the heat:
💧 Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty.
🏠 Stay indoors or in air-conditioned spaces during the hottest part of the day.
👒 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and take frequent breaks if you must be outside.
👵 Check on older adults, neighbors, and anyone who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.

🐾 Don't forget about your pets!
Make sure they have plenty of fresh water and shade, avoid walking them on hot pavement, and never leave people or pets in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Temperatures inside a vehicle can become deadly very quickly.

Let's all do our part to stay safe, look out for one another, and take this heat seriously.

The W**d Library’s public Wi-Fi will now be available daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The City and Siskiyou County Library worked together to establish these hours in response to concerns about late-night loitering, overnight activity, and unsupervised use of City property, while also recognizing that many community members rely on library Wi-Fi outside regular library hours.

This schedule preserves broad public access throughout the day and evening while helping address safety and property-management concerns after hours.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Wildfire season is a reality of life in Northern California, and preparing our homes, neighborhoods, and community is one of the most important ways we can protect lives and property. The City of W**d is partnering with the Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center to host a free Wildfire Education Event that provides residents with practical information, local resources, and opportunities to connect with neighbors who share a commitment to community resilience.

The event will be held on June 20, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the W**d Library, located at 150 Alamo Avenue. Community members will learn about wildfire preparedness, defensible space strategies, fuel-reduction assistance programs, and the steps to establish and participate in a FireWise neighborhood. Whether you are a homeowner, renter, business owner, or simply interested in helping strengthen community safety, this event offers valuable information tailored to our local needs.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with wildfire preparedness experts, ask questions about reducing fire risk around their properties, and learn about available assistance programs that can help make mitigation projects more affordable and achievable. The event is also an opportunity to build relationships with neighbors and develop a coordinated approach to protecting our community from future wildfire threats.

Food and refreshments will be provided by the Community Fire Resiliency Program, making this a welcoming, family-friendly gathering for all residents.

Wildfire preparedness is most effective when communities work together. By taking proactive steps today, we can help ensure a safer and more resilient future for W**d and the surrounding region. We encourage all residents to attend and take advantage of this free educational opportunity.

For additional information and to RSVP, please visit the Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center website.

We look forward to seeing you there!
