<p class="MsoNormal">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.

<p class="MsoNormal">I asked questions along the lines of High Wind Warnings triggering our critical weanter shelter at our Council meeting on Nevmeber 16<sup>th</sup>. 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
