With temperatures expected to drop below 25 degrees Tuesday night, Denver is activating its emergency cold-weather shelter plan.

The city’s Department of Housing Stability will open extra shelter space for individuals and families from 1 p.m. Tuesday through 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 26.

If you see a person or family staying outside in the cold, the city wants you to call 311 or direct them to the nearest shelter.

You can find a list of those on the city’s website.

The city opens its cold-weather shelters when the National Weather Service declares a cold-weather advisory or an extreme cold watch; temperatures are forecasted to drop to 25 degrees or below; or more than two inches of snow are predicted.
