A Code Blue advisory is issued when frigid weather poses a danger to the homeless population.

The Cape May County Office of Emergency Management advises that all Cape May County municipalities will be under a “Code Blue” severe weather advisory from 6 p.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Tuesday.

Code Blue conditions are in effect when the temperature drops to 25 degrees with clear skies or 32 degrees with precipitation.

A Code Blue emergency is intended to protect homeless people living outside, on the streets, in parks or poorly insulated settings and who are at risk for cold-related exposure and possible death.

People seeking shelter in a warming center should contact their local municipality. Additional resources are available by calling 2-1-1.
