Hi everyone,
This is just a starter post to alert those who couldn’t attend the cold weather check in call this morning that Pierce County Department of Emergency Management is working on setting up an overnight warming site in the Parkland
area, likely to start around 8pm and go until 8am tomorrow morning. This would cover the time of the cold weather advisory that was issued by the National Weather Service for our area tonight, with warnings particularly about low wind chills.
William Palmer from DEM has joined this list and will be working along with Wyatt and others from DEM to help stand up the warming site, including alerting Pierce Tranist to allow free rides to the site for those seeking
warming overnight.
Look for more emails and potentially calls throughout the day today as we coordinate getting this set up. And thank you to DEM for making this resource happen overnight!
