Upper Valley Haven Opens New Patrick and Marcelle Leahy Shelter and Resource Center

The Upper Valley Haven has officially dedicated its new year-round shelter and resource center, named the Patrick and Marcelle Leahy Shelter and Resource Center, located at 608 North Main St. in White River Junction. The facility, which has been under construction for over a year, features a 20-bed emergency shelter on its second floor and a daytime resource center on the first. The Haven's executive director, Will Towne, highlighted the center's purpose to provide immediate relief, including bed reservations, meals, and staff support, addressing the issue of often-full shelters and long waitlists across the state. The center is designed to offer semi-private pods for overnight guests and will be staffed around the clock, allowing guests to connect with Haven service coordinators. The first-floor resource center will also serve community members who are precariously housed or navigating difficult times, offering computer workspaces for job applications and benefit enrollments.

Coachella Valley Prepares for Potential Earthquake Risks

Coachella Valley Prepares for Potential Earthquake Risks

In recognition of National Preparedness Month, cities across the Coachella Valley, California, are reviewing their emergency response plans to prepare for potential large-scale disasters, including major earthquakes. Officials are focusing on evacuation routes, communication strategies, and resource allocation in the event of disrupted services. Palm Springs is developing its first focused evacuation plan, while Palm Desert is training its workforce for disaster response. Residents are being urged to prepare for self-sufficiency for several days post-disaster, as emergency services may prioritize the most severe situations first. An emergency readiness event is scheduled for September 19 at the Palm Desert Community Center to educate the public on preparedness strategies (KESQ, 2026-09-10).

Heat and Humidity Begin to Ease in Coachella Valley

Heat and Humidity Begin to Ease in Coachella Valley

The Coachella Valley is experiencing a gradual shift in weather conditions as a trough moves into the West Coast, weakening the high-pressure ridge that has been responsible for the recent extreme heat and humidity. According to KESQ, temperatures are expected to remain high, reaching the lower 110s °F (43-44 °C) on Thursday afternoon, with lingering monsoonal moisture potentially triggering isolated thunderstorms in the mountains and nearby desert areas. This marks the beginning of a cooling and drying trend that will become more noticeable over the weekend. The Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect until 8 PM Friday, September 11, 2026 (Source time: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 22:49:24 GMT).
