(Baltimore, MD) -- Baltimore's Health Commissioner has extended the Code Blue Extreme Cold Alert through Sunday due to continued single digit temperatures and hazardous conditions across the city.
Residents should take necessary precautions, stay indoors when possible, and check on neighbors who may need assistance.
During a Code Blue, city agencies activate services that provide shelter and assistance for those in need, including those who are homeless.
A Code Blue is declared when forecasted temperatures, including wind chill, are expected to fall below 13 degrees, or when conditions are severe enough to create a significant risk to someone's health.
