Heat Deaths Challenge Us All
Description
Multnomah County is investigating four recent heat-related deaths that defy the usual pattern—no longer just older men living alone. With temperatures soaring, officials are urging neighbors to check on vulnerable residents, especially seniors, and are opening cooling centers while working with property managers to ensure safety. One woman, sleeping in her car without air conditioning, highlights the urgent need for help as cooling units sit on a long waiting list. This is a wake-up call: staying connected and looking out for each other could save lives this summer.
