The Code Blue will be in effect from 6 p.m. Thursday evening through 6 a.m. Friday morning.
Cherry Hill and all other Camden County municipalities will be under a Code Blue advisory on Thursday night due to cold temperatures.
The Code Blue will go into effect at 6 p.m. Thursday evening and continue through 6 a.m. Friday morning.
“Thursday night’s temperatures are expected to drop as low as 12 degrees. In these extreme weather conditions, we need everyone to be sheltered and out of the elements,” Camden County Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez said. “If you must leave the house, please dress yourself and your children in warm clothing, hats and gloves. Also, please remember to check on elderly relatives and neighbors, and bring your pets indoors.”
When a Code Blue is declared, municipalities with homeless populations, situational homeless or transient populations are expected to activate their Code Blue response plan to accommodate their immediate needs.
Each municipality has identified its own location to accommodate those in their community seeking shelter from the severe weather. Anyone seeking shelter in a warming center should contact their local municipality.
