City of New Haven cold weather protocol

The National Weather Service is forecasting significant rain, high winds and freezing temperatures for our region. Wind gusts of up to 50 mph are expected, and coastal flooding is likely is some of the city’s low-lying areas, which may cause road closures. Then, beginning Friday afternoon and through the weekend, overnight temperatures are expected to drop into the teens and, with the wind chill factor, into the single digits.  

The City has activated its severe cold weather protocols and I wanted to pass along a few quick safety tips for residents:  

1. Make sure to fully charge your cell phones and critical electronic and medical devices in preparation for a potential power outage; 

1. Drive with caution and, if possible, adjust your travel times, if you are traveling for the holidays. The rain followed by freezing temperatures may result in icy roads. 

1. Do not drive through flooded roadways – instead, turn around and choose a different route.  

1. Check in on your family, friends and neighbors. 

1. Call 9-1-1 for any storm-related emergencies. 

Our walk-in winter Warming Centers will be open 24 hours a day beginning Friday 6pm. The list of warming centers can be found on the city's website: newhavenct.gov or by calling 211. 

Most importantly, for kids in New Haven expecting a visit by Santa, know that -- no matter what -- that no winter storm can stop Santa Claus. Santa is still on his way and Santa is still coming to town. Happy Holidays!  

The city of New Haven is preparing for extremely cold temperatures this weekend – with lows of 10 and 8 degrees projected for tonight and Saturday. Extended exposure to extremely low temps can cause frost bite, hypothermia, and can lead to death.

Individuals in need of refuge may use any of our four library branches on Saturday between 10 AM – 5 PM. The Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen at 266 State Street also offers daytime and overnight warming center spaces through Monday at Noon.

Thanks everyone and stay safe! 

Hola a todos, soy el alcalde Justin Elicker con información sobre una ola de frío severo.

La ciudad de New Haven se está preparando para temperaturas extremadamente frías este fin de semana, con temperaturas mínimas de 10 y 8 grados proyectadas para esta noche y para el sábado. La exposición prolongada a temperaturas extremadamente bajas puede causar congelación, hipotermia y puede provocar la muerte.

Las personas que necesitan refugio pueden usar cualquiera de nuestras cuatro sucursales de la biblioteca los sábados entre las 10 de la mañana y las 5 de la tarde. El comedor público de Downtown Evening, en 266 State Street, también ofrece espacios para calentarse durante el día y la noche hasta el lunes al mediodía.

¡Gracias a todos y manténganse seguros
