Emergency Operations Plan, supporting documents CITY OF PORTLAND Evacuation Plan Page 3 of 67 SITUATION Portland covers 145 square miles and had an estimated population of 632,309 people in 2016 (US Census 2016), with a population density of about 4,360 persons per square mile. Portland’s population increases by about 14% during the workday (US Census 2015), when people commute into the City. Visitors also swell the population, especially during special events and vacation periods. Portland has several unique areas, including the Central Business District (CBD), Forest Park, Hayden Island, the Linnton neighborhood, and the area protected by the Multnomah County Drainage Districts (MCDD) that have special risks and might present operational challenges for large-scale evacuations. Portland is susceptible to natural and human- caused hazards that could necessitate a large-scale evacuation, including: flooding, threatened or suspected terrorism, dam break, levee failure, wildland-urban interface fires, and haz mat release. Cascading effects from a large earthquake such as fire, landslide, or haz mat incident could also cause the evacuation of localized areas. Generally, flooding occurs in a known floodplain after periods of intense rain or snow melt. However, other hazards can occur with little or no warning. A large-scale evacuation will require mutual aid assistance for security and transportation resources. Multnomah County coordinates sheltering and mass care, public behavioral health, mental health, and emergency medical services. These services are essential to evacuees, so any large- scale evacuation of Portland residents will require close coordination with the County.
