After County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson declared a state of emergency today, the county medical examiner disclosed that a man died of hypothermia on Sunday in a zip code at Portland’s southwest edge. The low temperature that night was 37 degrees, well above the county’s threshold for opening warming shelters.

Multnomah County has opened three severe weather shelters in Portland to accommodate those facing the cold, with no one in need being turned away.

With freezing cold rain and a chance of snow predicted for Tuesday night, cold weather shelters will open in Multnomah, Clackamas and Washington counties.

Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson will declare a state of emergency effective at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 4. The additional 242 severe weather beds will open at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, and will remain open at least through noon on Wednesday, Feb. 5.
