The Red Cross will take down hundreds of cots at a Portland shelter today after federal officials again changed their minds and said they are unlikely to send Hurricane Katrina evacuees to Oregon.

As state, local and Red Cross officials scrambled inside a shelter in Southeast Portland, the Federal Emergency Management Agency notified Gov. Ted Kulongoski on Friday afternoon that the shelter isn't needed."
