LANSING, MI — Mayor Andy Schor, in consultation with the Lansing Fire Department’s Emergency Management Division and the Department of Human Relations & Community Services (HRCS), is activating the city’s ‘Code Blue’ extreme cold weather plan. Implementation of this policy goes into effect on Wednesday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. and will run until Saturday, December 14 at 8:00 a.m.
The Code Blue plan enables local shelters to operate additional hours and temporarily increase capacity. In addition, it allows the Lansing Fire and Police Departments to transport those needing assistance to local shelters. The CATA bus system will also provide free rides to those who need to get to a warming center or shelter.
The following is a list of emergency cold weather shelters available through the Code Blue activation. Public buildings are available during regular business hours.
