Well, KXL's site is useless. As is the Red Cross site, everything seems to be graphics.
Try calling 211, that is a statewide information number so they may have up to date info. Also, I'd call the Red Cross and ask them about accessible information for shelters. I have my doubts there are any designated shelters right now in Portland since we are not having to be under an evacuation alert, but you are smart to plan. Best, Richard "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself,” and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of ancient hatreds among peoples.
