What is a Code Blue Alert?

In accordance with New Jersey Code Blue Legislation, when the National Weather Service forecast temperatures reaching 32 degrees (32°F) or lower, Warren County Office of Emergency Management will issue a Code Blue Alert to all 22 municipalities and appropriate social services agencies.  The Code Blue Alert is also shared with local media, social media outlets and the NJ Statewide Homeless Hotline, 211 or 877-652-1148.  The Code Blue Alert is generally posted before the onset of freezing temperatures.

The Code Blue Alert directs local authorities to make shelter or warming centers available for individuals who are homeless or unsheltered.

During business hours contact Warren County Division of Temporary Assistance Social Services at 908-475-6218.

During off business hours, weekends, and holidays, contact NJ 211 by dialing 211 or 877-652-1148.
