Gov. Kotek reminds Oregonians to take extra precautions to stay safe in advance of excessive heat warnings for most of the state this holiday week
Eugene, OR – According to the statement, several state agencies are mobilizing resources and standing up the state Emergency Coordination Center throughout the heatwave.
State officials also said that the temperatures across Oregon are expected to reach near record-breaking levels, with the Portland metro area, Willamette Valley, and parts of Southern Oregon expected to hit temperatures in the triple digits.
The heat risk levels and what they mean for individuals can be found on the National Weather Service’s Heat Risk map.
Governor Kotek released the following statement:
“Oregon will experience record-breaking heat across the state this holiday week. While extreme heat can be deadly for anyone, certain groups – children, elders, people with disabilities, and people who work outside – face additional risk. Also, remember to check on your neighbors, especially those who might not have access to air conditioning. High heat can also be a catalyst for wildfires. I strongly urge all Oregonians to practice extreme caution this weekend, stay cool, and take preventive measures to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires.”
