[BoulderCouncilHotline] High Wind Warning and Emergency Shelter

[Benjamin, Matt]

Dear Community Members, Council and Staff,


I would like to get an update on plans to open emergency and/or critical weather shelters starting tonight and going though tomorrow. As many know we have a High Wind Warning (See link below). Forecasted winds may top 100mph. The threat of these winds constiture a life safety hazard for anyone outside and especially our unhoused residents.

I asked questions along the lines of High Wind Warnings triggering our critical weanter shelter at our Council meeting on Nevmeber 16th. I have yet to hear a responce to that inquiry, so I’d like this to be addressed now that we are going to be dealing with a very dangerous weather event in less than 24 hours.

Batten down the hatches and stay safe everyone.


With gratutide,

Matt
