Hypothermia Hotline Reminder

Given the frigid temperature we're at currently and a forecast for overnight lows in the teens (and even single digits in the north and west of D.C.), it's a good time to remind you to keep an eye out for anyone trying to brave the cold and sleep outside tonight. The D.C. government's Hypothermia Watch Partner Program maintains a shelter hotline, 1-800-535-7252, that residents may call to request that homeless individuals be picked up by a van and transported to a local shelter. Preventing hypothermia deaths is serious business, so keep an eye out for anyone who may need help finding shelter tonight.
