The Code Blue has been issued with temperatures forecasted to dip below freezing Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Due to expected cold temperatures tonight, Camden County has issued a Code Blue advisory from 6 p.m. Saturday evening through 7 a.m. Sunday morning.
“On Saturday night, we are expecting a mix of sleet and snow with temperatures in the low 20s. In these extreme weather conditions, we need everyone to be sheltered and out of the elements,” Camden County Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez said. “If you must leave the house, please dress yourself and your children in warm clothing, hats and gloves. Also, please remember to check on elderly relatives and neighbors, and bring your pets indoors.”
During a Code Blue advisory, municipalities with homeless populations, situational homeless or transient populations are expected to activate their Code Blue response plan to accommodate their immediate needs.
Anyone seeking shelter in a warming center should contact their local municipality. For additional resources, call the Camden County Department of Health and Human Service at (800) 999–9045 or by visiting www.camdencounty.com.
