The city’s cold emergency threshold is one day or more of -10°F or below observed wind chill; the cold advisory threshold is one day or more of 0°F or below observed wind chill. City departments are coordinating resources, opening warming centers at Boston Centers for Youth and Families during operating hours, and ensuring shelters are available for people experiencing homelessness. Officials warn of increased hypothermia and frostbite risk, urge residents to dress in layers, check on vulnerable neighbors, and call 911 to report people exposed to extreme cold.
