"With dangerously cold weather in the forecast, we must take extra safety precautions because it’s simply unsafe for anyone to be outside for prolonged periods of time," said Mayor Brown. "This is why my administration has called for temporary warming centers to be established for those in need this weekend."
If you or someone you know is in need of shelter, call 311 to find the center nearest you.
