What is Code Blue?

Once a county declares a Code Blue, the information is shared through local media and social media outlets. It is also shared with NJ 211 and posted to this page. The activation dates are listed, and once Code Blue is deactivated, it will be removed from this page. 

When temperatures drop below freezing and conditions pose a threat to unsheltered individuals, a network of agencies throughout New Jersey helps people obtain shelter. During such times, county offices of emergency management and municipal government will often initiate and communicate a Code Blue Alert, which enables authorities to make shelter arrangements for adults experiencing homelessness. The shelter arrangements may include opening Warming Centers for this specific need. The Code Blue activations, deactivations, and Warming Center listings on this page are based on what NJ 211 receives from the individual counties.

What are warming centers?

Many public libraries, shopping centers, and senior activity centers serve as Warming Centers during business hours. Additional after-hours and overnight Warming Centers will be listed below for the public to view.
