Cobb Community Center opens temporarily as warming center
The center — also known as the Little Red Schoolhouse — is located at 15780 Bottle Rock Road.
Volunteers will staff this center from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily until further notice.
The public is welcome to come in, charge devices, warm up and access other services.
Lake County Behavioral Health Mobile Unit will be onsite from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 7. The unit will offer emotional support and varied cold weather items. Questions can be directed to Carrie Manning at 707-274-9101.
On Wednesday, Feb. 7, showers will be available between 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., provided by Adventist Health’s mobile shower unit. The hours were extended from the original end time in order to ensure children have an opportunity to access showers after school hours.
As of Tuesday night, hundreds of homes remained out of power in the Cobb area in the wake of the atmospheric river storms that culminated on Sunday.
On Monday, Sheriff Rob Howe declared a local emergency due to impacts from the winter storms, including excessive rainfall, high winds, and snow, resulting in downed trees and power lines, flooding, and other serious damage across the county.
Officials said the work to clear roads and restore power continues.
Lake County residents are urged to refrain from unnecessary travel, to treat all downed lines as live and report emergencies and check in on neighbors or family, especially those without power or who may not have access to the internet and/or phone.
