Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez, liaison to the Camden County Department of Health and Human Services, advises municipalities that Camden County will be under “Code Blue” severe weather advisory tonight and tomorrow night.
The Health Officer issued the Code Blue advisory for Camden County effective from 6 p.m. on Jan. 23 through 7 a.m. on Jan. 26.
“With another blast of snow on the way the county will continue to be stuck in a severe cold weather system for the foreseeable future. Before leaving the house, please dress yourself and your children in warm clothing, hats and gloves,” Rodriguez said. “We need everyone to be sheltered and out of the elements during the severe weather. Also, please remember to check on elderly relatives and neighbors and bring your pets indoors.”
When the Camden County Health Officer declares a Severe Weather Emergency, municipalities with homeless populations, situational homeless or transient populations are expected to activate their Code Blue response plan to accommodate their immediate needs.
A storm out of the Ohio River Valley is about to touch down in Camden County, flurries will start within the hour as a cold front arrives this afternoon. Temperatures will continue to hover around 30 degrees and dip into the 20s tonight.
