From KCRHA: “With overnight low temperatures in the forecast, KCRHA is activating Tier 2 Severe Weather Response Protocols starting on Sunday, January 12, through Friday, January 17, increasing to Tier 3 protocols for Saturday, January 18 – Tuesday, January 21, with a potential for extension, in accordance with our Severe Weather Policy. Tier 2 activation means that the KCRHA is working to coordinate with cities to open additional 24/7 emergency shelters and warming centers, as well as several other activities which are outlined in our Cold Weather Activation Thresholds document. In Tier 3 protocols, we do everything in Tiers 1 and 2, and also coordinate with transit and transportation partners to shelter sites (for example, medically fragile or disabled individuals), open emergency daytime and overnight warming centers and day centers, including libraries, and coordinate with cities (where applicable) to open local city halls and other city-owned properties for warming centers and/or 24/7 emergency shelters."
