Stay Cool & Be Safe

Immediate Assistance

• Call or text 911 if you or someone else is experiencing a life threatening emergency.
• If you see someone outside you are concerned about, call police non-emergency at 503-629-0111 and request a welfare check.
• Call 211 for help finding shelter, transportation, or other assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Check In With Family, Friends, and Neighbors

Excessive heat significantly increases the potential for heat-related illnesses, particularly for those working or participating in outdoor activities.

Check in with your family, friends, and neighbors - especially young children, older adults, and people with chronic medical problems - as they are more vulnerable to heat-related illness.

Never leave pets or children unattended in vehicles.

Places to Cool Off
