A question-and-answer session will follow the final speaker.

Clackamas County will stream the press conference live on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ClackamasCounty), YouTube (#ClackCo TV) and on the Clackamas County Government channel.

We expect that a Portland TV News station will act as the media pool for video and audio.

Reporters can attend in person; please wear face coverings and stay at least six feet apart using established seating.

Reporters can also watch any of the feeds and then email questions to eocmedia@clackamas.us and we'll relay those questions to the appropriate subject matter expert.
