For anyone seeking relief from the cold. How to spot them: When activated for extreme cold, warming centers operate all day on sites and on buses across all boroughs throughout the cold weather period. How to access help: When warming centers are open, simply board the bus at any listed location. Outreach staff can connect you to additional resources if needed.
