City activates weather-respite centers Dec. 12-15
The City of Sacramento is activating weather-respite operations from December 12 to December 15 due to forecasts of consecutive rainy days. The Outreach and Engagement Center (OEC) will be available from 1 p. m. Thursday through 8 a. m.
Sunday, with the capacity to accommodate 50 guests and allowing pets. In contrast, the North 5th Street Navigation Center will operate nightly from 8 p. m. to 6 a. m.
, offering shelter for 20 adults, though pets are not permitted. Additional weather-respite locations include local libraries and community centers, which will remain open during their regular hours. The City has partnered with Regional Transit to provide no-cost transportation to and from these centers, ensuring accessibility for all community members. Those in need of assistance can call 211 or visit the provided websites for more information. The City will continuously monitor the National Weather Service forecasts and the capacity at each center to determine whether to extend operations or activate additional locations.
This proactive approach underscores Sacramento's commitment to supporting its residents during severe weather events.
