CALL 9-1-1 if you are experiencing a physical or mental health emergency. Visit "Heat Emergency Resources" for cooling centers in Alameda County and other information. Visit "Winter Emergency Services" for winter shelter and warming centers in Alameda County and other information.

We are monitoring air quality forecasts along with county emergency officials. During air quality events, ACHCH has N95 masks available for outreach providers who can distribute them to unsheltered people experiencing homelessness. There is no clear evidence that N95 respirator masks used by the general public is beneficial to a person's health during a poor air quality event, and they can actually make it harder for some people to breathe.
