Each recreation center that is currently in operation will have a staffed area where people can go to warm up. The centers will have drinking water, restrooms and places to sit inside.Denver already has a network of shelters that can help people who are experiencing homelessness. The recreation centers will increase the options available.

The Denver Department of Public Health & Environment recommends limiting your time outside when temperatures dip, and to check for signs of hypothermia and frostbite. In addition, the DDPHE is asking residents to only use generators and grills outside and away from windows to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.Denver Animal Protection is also reminding pet owners to keep dogs and cats, even if they have heavy fur coats, inside when frigid temperatures blanket the area.
