As of September 12, 2020, the threat of wildfire is not increasing in Multnomah County. Clackamas Fire and Portland Fire & Rescue confirm the fires in Clackamas County are not moving in a way that would shift any part of Multnomah County to an evacuation level. Read the full statement and subsequent updates here. As a result, there are no orders of evacuation in Multnomah County at this time, as shown on this map.

Additionally, this InciWeb site contains 12, 24, 48, and 72 hour predictions about movement of the Riverside Fire. Scroll down to see predictions. Note that fire is moving outward along several fronts.

Visit Public Alerts to see the relationship of alert zones to actual fire location. Be sure to sign up for Public Alerts, as that is the main warning system in Portland.
