"As dangerously cold temperatures grip New York City, officials say the weather has already turned deadly - and more warming centers and warming buses are now open across Brooklyn to help people get out of the cold. City leaders say 10 people have died after being found outdoors during this prolonged cold stretch. In response, the city has expanded its network of warming spaces and remains under an enhanced Code Blue,"
"No appointment or ID is required to enter a warming bus. Anyone who is cold can come inside. There are also several indoor warming locations offering heat and food: Kings County Hospital - Open 24/7 South Brooklyn Hospital - Open 24/7 H+H Clinic - Gotham Cumberland, 100 N. Portland Ave. - Open 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. H+H Clinic - Gotham East New York, 2094 Pitkin Ave. - Open 7 p.m. to 7 a.m."
New York City is experiencing a prolonged below-freezing stretch that has resulted in at least ten people found dead outdoors. The city is operating under an enhanced Code Blue with emergency outreach teams conducting around-the-clock work, expanded transport services, relaxed shelter intake rules, and nearly 500 placements since Jan. 19. Multiple warming buses and 24/7 indoor locations in Brooklyn are available, with no appointment or ID required for bus access. Outreach officials urge residents to call 311 if they see someone outside who may be struggling in the cold.
