Heatwave Claims Four Lives in Multnomah
Description
Four heat-related deaths in Multnomah County may be linked to the latest extreme heatwave, hitting vulnerable older adults across Portland neighborhoods. With 16 heat deaths recorded between 2022 and 2025 — mostly older men living alone — and a staggering 69 deaths in 2021 during a 116-degree heatwave, officials are sounding the alarm. Cooling centers were opened Monday as temperatures soared, highlighting how deadly heat can be even in regions not typically associated with extreme weather — and the urgent need to protect those most at risk.
