In anticipation of the cold snap that is expected to hit the area hard Tuesday and Wednesday, the Starke County Emergency Management Agency has arranged for a few local facilities to be utilized as warming centers.
In order for people to gain access to the facilities they need to contact Starke County EMA Director Jay Nier and she will coordinate with the site volunteers and work to get you placed as soon as possible.
These places are available for residents who experience unforeseen circumstances that leave them without heat, such as a furnace going out or a power outage.
If you have any questions or if you need to access a warming center, contact the Starke County Emergency Management Agency at 574-772-9182.
