Waiting with the families while they're waiting to fill out intakes, or even helping people fill out the intake if needed. Transportation if needed would be helpful as well.

Subject: Re: Inclement Weather - Warming Center pop up at the Family Promise Intake Center
Hi everyone,
Here is a follow up on my message earlier about an overnight warming center opening in Parkland tonight.
Our friends at the Shelter Access Hub run by Family Promise will host the warming center at their intake center at 214 121st St S
Parkland,WA 98444
Laura Mapes from Family Promise says that staff will be on hand beginning at 6pm to set up for the warming center to open at 8pm, and they would love to have some volunteer help. Please reach out to Laura at cm2@familypromisepiercecounty.org to let her know how you can help!
Laura, if you can let us know what specific needs folks could help fill for this assignment, please share here!

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!
