A 12-bureau task force has been formed following the late June heat wave suspected of killing 71 city residents.
The city of Portland will open more cooling centers in civic buildings staffed with public employees during the next heat wave. It also will improve communications so that more people know they are available and how to reach them.
Those are among a series of preliminary recommendation proposed by a task force convened by Mayor Ted Wheeler and the City Council following the late June heat wave suspected of killing 71 Portlanders. The task force included 12 city bureaus and plans to have a heat emergency operational guideline completed by July 30, and also will update plans on other environmental events.
