Code Blue In Effect In New York

Due to the extremely cold weather, a Code Blue is in effect. Gov. Hochul's office tells Hudson Valley Post that a Code Blue is automatically issued when the temperature and wind chill equal less than 32 degrees.

"Local social services districts are legally required to take necessary steps to ensure those experiencing homelessness have access to shelter and that shelter hours are extended," Hochul's office states.

A Code Blue is an emergency activation for extreme cold weather that relaxes shelter rules to protect the homeless, opening 24/7 drop-in centers, allowing walk-in shelter access without usual intake, and increasing outreach to ensure everyone has a safe, warm place to go.
