Code Blue has been activated with overnight warming center available if needed
A Code Blue has been activated beginning tonight for the first time this season. It will continue through 8 a.m. on Sunday.
Code Blue is activated on nights when temperatures or wind chill are at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for at least two consecutive hours. Once an alert is called it must remain in effect until at least 7 a.m., said Julie Carasone, a community health worker for the Oak Orchard Community Health Center.
When a Code Blue is activated, there will be a warming center available overnight for people with no place to stay inside. They can stay overnight at Christ Episcopal Church at 26 South Main St. in Albion. The overnight warming center at Christ Episcopal is open upon request. Call (585) 340-1355 if the warming center is needed overnight.
Daytime warming centers at Hoag Library in Albion, Eastern Orleans Community Center in Holley, and Lee-Whedon Memorial Library in Medina.
