>> The wildfires have also prompted mass evacuations in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon's largest city.

Does anyone know which suburb of Portland is being evacuated? It is mentioned in the article, but when I look at a state map of evacuations [1] it doesn't show any suburbs in the "go" section (ordered to evacuate). Oregon City is in the "be set" evacuation zone, so maybe they are considering that to be a suburb or Portland and are saying that it is evacuating when they aren't ordered to yet?

I don't currently live in the area, but most of my family and friends do (most live in the evacuated areas). It is hard to find clear information sometimes. The best resources I have found are the facebook or twitter feeds of the 911, sheriff, or county fire departments.

I live in Portland, and Estacada and Molalla were evacuated. Oregon City is currently on level 2 warning. Level 3 is immediate evacuation. Mostly it's places in Clackamas Couny. Here's the most up to date info you're probably going to find. It's from Oregon Emergency Operations. https://www.oregon.gov/oem/emops/Pages/RAPTOR.aspx . Here's a list of resources that was put up by the office of one of the Oregon state reps https://bonamici.house.gov/media/media/statements/wildfire-r... . I found the Raptor link there.
