A Code Blue advisory is issued when frigid weather poses a danger to the homeless population.
The Cape May County Office of Emergency Management has issued a “Code Blue” advisory for all of Cape May County effective 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday and Tuesday.
Code Blue conditions are in effect when the temperature dips to 32 degrees or below.
A Code Blue emergency is intended to protect people living outside, on the street, in parks or in poorly insulated settings who are at risk for cold-related exposure and possible death.
Anyone seeking temporary shelter in a warming center should contact their local municipality. Additional resources are available by calling 2-1-1.
