Escape the severe heat and take advantage of the cooling spaces throughout Multnomah County! From outdoor pools to libraries and more, share these out with our unhoused neighbors so they can stay safe, cool and relaxed! Check out our interactive map at the link in our bio!

Please do not call 911 to report fireworks use. It is very important that our 911 system be kept for reporting only active fires and serious medical problems. Your cooperation with this will save lives.
