The National Weather Service is forecasting extreme cold winter conditions into this weekend. Given that prediction, the Bucks County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) joins the County Health Department to issue a “Code Blue” declaration. The Code Blue declaration will cover the period of 79 p.m. on Thursday, February 9 through 7 a.m. on Saturday, February 11, 2017.
The EMA has notified the February, 2017 on-call churches, Calvary Baptist Church in Bristol, Doylestown Presbyterian Church - Andrews Hall and Quakertown Masonic Lodge, who plan to activate their emergency shelters. The on-call church volunteers will coordinate transportation, temporary shelter, food and other necessities.
