New Warming Location Opens at Bellevue Community Center

The American Red Cross has opened a Warming Location at the Bellevue Community Center, located at 7638 A Highway 70 South, Nashville, TN 37721, to support Davidson County residents impacted by extreme cold weather and power outages.

This Warming Location replaces the previously established site at Margaret Allen Middle School, which was relocated to the Bellevue Community Center on Thursday. The Bellevue location now joins three other overnight warming and sheltering locations operating across the county.

The Nashville Fire Department (NFD), Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), and the Department of Emergency Communications (DEC) continue to provide free transportation to area Warming Locations for Davidson County residents in need. Transportation back to residents' homes is also available once power has been restored.

Transportation Assistance

Residents needing transportation to a warming location should call: 615-401-1712
DEC personnel answering the hotline have access to interpreters, ensuring assistance is available regardless of language.

Callers should be prepared to provide the following information:

• Name
• Current location
• Number of people needing transportation
• Any special needs or mobility concerns
• Whether pets are present (pets are allowed for transportation)

Since the transportation hotline launched on Sunday, more than 625 people have been transported by personnel from the Nashville Fire Department and Metro Nashville Police Department.

Transportation requests will be handled as resources allow, with priority given to those most vulnerable to extreme cold.

Emergency Alerts
