    The threat of wildfire is not increasing for @multco. @clackamasfire & @pdxfiire confirm the fires in @clackamascounty are not moving in a way that would shift any part of @multco to an evacuation level. There are no orders of evacuation — here’s why.

    ALERT: As we hear isolated reports of gouging, we're issuing a strong warning to motel/hotel operators who may be receiving people in need in this crisis: Any and all price gouging to take advantage of people is not only shameful, but illegal. There can and will be consequences.
