WARMING SHELTERS...
Updated 10:35 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024
Severe weather shelters are not currently open.
With temperatures forecast to reach more than 40 degrees by midday, the County’s state of emergency ends today at noon.
Temperatures will not reach the severe weather thresholds that Multnomah County officials use — in consultation with Emergency Management, Health Department, County Human Services, Joint Office of Homeless Services and National Weather Service experts — to decide on shelter plans as needed.
Outreach workers have maintained efforts in every corner of Multnomah County since Jan. 9, 2024, supplying extra winter gear and linking higher-risk individuals to additional overflow shelter beds.
Anyone seeking shelter should contact 211info. 211info staff are available to identify shelters and warming sites for Multnomah County.
If you are concerned about someone you see during colder conditions, such as not being dressed for the weather conditions, call the non-emergency response line at 503-823-3333 and request a welfare check.
If someone is unsheltered, whose life appears to be in danger, call 9-1-1 for medical attention.
