Episode Details

Oregon’s sweltering heat is turning deadly, with temps hitting 100+ degrees and experts warning this summer will be hotter than ever. Vulnerable groups — the elderly, those living alone, and people with health conditions — are at highest risk. Even though 82% of homes have AC, it’s becoming a lifeline, not a luxury, especially in the Willamette Valley. Past efforts like renter-friendly AC bills and Medicaid-funded units have fallen short, and a new cooling requirement for large apartment buildings stalled. For now, the most critical message: check on your neighbors — one simple call could save a life.
