Extreme cold alert issued in Sudbury, Timmins
Organizations in Greater Sudbury and Timmins that deal with people experiencing homelessness are issuing extreme cold alerts Wednesday as temperatures are expected to drop below –20°C with the wind chill overnight.
“Exposure to extreme cold temperatures can cause serious and sometimes even life-threatening health problems, such as frostbite and hypothermia,” said Timmins officials.
“Protection from extreme cold conditions includes avoiding wind exposure, dressing in warm layers, and covering exposed skin.”
Sudbury's alert is in effect until noon Thursday, the Homelessness Network of Sudbury said in a news release.
"People on the street will be encouraged to voluntarily access shelters and services. Individuals who may be at risk due to low temperatures in their homes are also eligible for these services," the organization said.
People in Timmins requiring emergency shelter can attend the location at 316 Spruce St. S., the city said in a news release.
