Extra Edition: California Bans Gas Cars. Repeat Program.

Cooling Centers and Needed Heat Relief .  A brutal heat wave is in the forecast this week in central and southern California. This is bad news for residents of rural communities in Fresno County, who don’t have much access to cooling centers. Why are there so few cooling centers in the rural areas? How to survive an extreme heatwave?

Guests: Cassandra Garibay, Reporter, Fresnoland Lab, The Fresno Bee, Fresno,CA; Laura Diaz, Reporter, The Fresno Bee, Fresno, CA.
