On the streets of the Oceanside area… The decision to open an extreme weather shelter is typically based on a combination of temperature and weather conditions. The specific criteria for opening such shelters can vary depending on the location, local government regulations, and the organization operating the shelter. However, in general, extreme weather shelters are often opened when temperatures fall below a certain threshold, usually around 0°C (32°F) or lower, especially when combined with other factors such as heavy rain, snow, or high winds.
For 2024, the specific temperature and weather conditions to open an extreme weather shelter in British Columbia would likely be determined by local authorities and organizations involved in providing emergency shelter services. These decisions are often made in response to weather forecasts, emergency management protocols, and considerations for the health and safety of vulnerable individuals experiencing homelessness or inadequate housing.
It’s important to note that extreme weather shelter policies and guidelines can change over time, so it’s essential to consult with relevant local authorities, emergency services, and shelter providers for the most up-to-date information on when and under what conditions extreme weather shelters will be opened in British Columbia, Canada in 2024.
