Code Blue

The City activates a Code Blue when we’re expecting very cold conditions. This includes:

  • When there’s precipitation and the temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.

  • When it feels near or below 20 degrees due to wind chill.

During a Code Blue, the City takes special measures to keep people who are homeless safe. These measures include:

  • 24-hour outreach to find people who are homeless and transport them to safe indoor spaces.

  • Additional shelter beds.

  • Allowing homeless people to stay inside emergency housing throughout the day.

If you see someone experiencing homelessness during a Code Blue, please call the Homeless Services hotline at (215) 232-1984 or refer to this document from Project HOME.
