Vulnerable residents include those who are homeless or living in places without adequate protection from extreme weather, senior citizens, and the disabled.
A paddle boarder is pictured at Alki Beach as excessive heat warnings remain in effect a day after record-breaking temperatures resulted from a historic heatwave throughout the region in Seattle, Washington on June 29, 2021. King County Council is looking for ways to better protect people from the next wave of extreme weather after last summer’s record-breaking hot temperatures.
King County councilmembers used the meeting to discuss ways of developing a plan to shelter the county’s most vulnerable residents in extreme heat. The 2021 heat wave was described as a “heat dome,” which refers to warm air extending high into the atmosphere, impacting pressure and wind patterns. The “heat dome” essentially shut off the flow of cool marine air off of the Pacific into the state, according to National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.The council is currently working to identify facilities that could be used as shelters as the county’s plan needs to be finalized by next February with shelters operating by next June.
