Over the next few days weather forecasts predict several consecutive days of single digit weather. On Friday, the City of Pontiac declared a Snow Emergency that lasts through Monday, January 15 at 8 a.m. (log on to: https://conta.cc/3SidXee for more).

We want you to stay safe as these low temperatures can be dangerous and life-threatening. We have arranged for the Red Cross to deliver at least 20 cots and blankets to the First Presbyterian Church and New Birth International to allow for overnight stays (capacity may be limited so please check with attendants at those locations).

We will update you as we receive new information pertaining to the weather emergency. In the interim, if you are in need of a place to stay warm in the coming days please refer to the following list of locations in the area that may be able to accommodate you for the hours indicated:
