Parts of the country have been preparing for the massive heat wave, which is expected to hit this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Triple digit record temperatures or 30 degrees above normal are anticipated to hit the Pacific Northwest. Air-conditioning units in these areas are not always common, which has led many local residents to go out and buy units from stores before the weather hits.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A dangerous and record-breaking heat wave will begin across the Northwest U.S. south into southern California today lingering through this week.<br \/>While the heat should abate along the West Coast by midweek, it is expected to persist inland and expand into the Rockies. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mUcwxSih6H\">pic.twitter.com\/mUcwxSih6H<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 National Weather Service (@NWS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NWS\/status\/1408746708520116230?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Social service providers across the region have made efforts to hand out water to the homeless, while officials opened cooling centers for individuals to escape the extreme heat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a place where anybody can come and get a break from the heat and it\u2019s really important to give your body some rest period because it\u2019s work,\u201d Chief Health Officer for Multnomah County Dr. Jennifer Vines&nbsp; explained. \u201cIt\u2019s work for the body to keep you cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HEAT WAVE<br \/>This is expected to be unprecedented event.
