City, shelters preparing warming centers this weekend; officials ask for volunteers
Summary
Chiefs said the Nehemiah Foundation and Salvation Army are preparing warming centers that may open this weekend and requested volunteers; the city and Clark County EMA will share hours and sign-up details on official channels.
Police Chief Allison Elliott and Fire Chief Jacob King said warming centers run by the Nehemiah Foundation and the Salvation Army are likely to open this weekend to assist people who need shelter from cold weather, and they asked the public to consider volunteering.
"So if you haven't seen that or heard about it, from the Nehemiah Foundation and the Salvation Army, but, they're also looking for volunteers," Elliott said. King added he planned a follow-up meeting with city staff to coordinate support.
The chiefs said the city would post additional information on its website and social media about shelter hours and volunteer sign-ups, and that Clark County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) will share information about warming centers across the county.
No specific shelter hours, volunteer-contact details or capacity figures were provided during the broadcast; those items were "not specified." Residents interested in volunteering or learning shelter hours should monitor official city and county channels.
