Multnomah cool centers closed (Clack-Wash open)

The news warned of record breaking heat in the Portland area this weekend.  As of Saturday, Multnomah County decided to not open their cooling centers while Clackamas and Washington County had theirs open.   Multnomah won’t decide if Sunday will be open until Sunday morning comes.  So much for preventative and pro-active emergency action.

Here is what we previously spoke on Oregon’s heat wave problems:

Don’t forget that during this heat wave in which over 500 people died in three states, Oregon’s Governor was spending all day at a fancy wine retreat fundraiser.

Also the County was faulted for creating a heat wave hotline but failed to properly get the word out so people could use it. More than 750 calls that were made were never answered.
