Baltimore Extends Code Blue Alert Amid Ongoing Winter Conditions
Baltimore’s Health Commissioner has extended the Code Blue Extreme Cold Alert through Sunday due to continued single-digit temperatures and hazardous conditions across the city. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, stay indoors when possible, and check on neighbors who may need assistance. During a Code Blue, city agencies activate services that provide shelter and assistance for those in need, including those who are homeless. A Code Blue is declared when forecasted temperatures, including wind chill, are expected to fall below 13 degrees, or when conditions are severe enough to create a significant risk to someone’s health.
Why it matters locally
This extension underscores the city’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents during extreme cold conditions.
