The City of Austin plans to open several Warming Centers on Friday and Saturday to ensure cold weather resources are available for the city's most vulnerable populations.
A Warming Center is a safe place where anyone in the community can come inside to get temporary relief from the cold weather during normal operating hours.Warming Center locations:Terrazas Branch Library, 1105 E Cesar Chavez St, Austin, TX 78702George Morales Dove Springs Recreation Center 5801 Ainez Dr, Austin, TX 78744
"I'm going to walk through those camps and let people know that we're opening a warming center where they can go, because we should have said subzero temperatures at subzero and freezing temperatures by noon tomorrow," says Austin Firefighters Association president, Bob Nicks. "We've already kind of upped our cold weather supplies for our medics and our stations and taken precautions to have our vehicles prepared," says Austin Travis County EMS Captain Darren Nowak.
"We're adding some single unit response capable vehicles that will be out there to provide additional transport options," says Capt. Nowak.
