As dangerously cold temperatures move into the region, multiple warming centers and emergency shelters are opening across Central and North Central Arkansas to help protect residents from freezing conditions.
A warming center is a temporary emergency facility designed to provide a safe, warm, and dry environment during extreme cold weather. These locations help prevent hypothermia, frostbite, and other cold-related injuries and typically operate for limited hours depending on weather conditions and local capacity.
Residents are encouraged to check with local law enforcement offices or city officials for availability, hours of operation, and capacity before traveling. Community members are also urged to check on neighbors who may need transportation or assistance during extreme cold conditions.
