Warming Centers Available in Madison County
UPDATED - Warming Centers Available in Madison County
The Madison County Emergency Management Agency and Department of Homeland Security, working in conjunction with COAD (County Organizations Active in a Disaster), have activated WARMING Centers in strategic locations with Madison County. A WARMING center is a drop-in area for residents to visit during cold temperatures to find temporary heat. These locations are not shelters; they do not provide bedding, nor food and beverages they will provide seating only. If you chose to go to a warming center, be sure to bring your medication as well as materials to keep children entertained and help pass the time.
Warming Center Locations:
