City Activates White Flag Overnight Warming Centers on Nov. 13, 14, and 15

The City of Greensboro will activate two White Flag warming centers Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in response to the cold weather.

Operated by the City's Community Safety Department (CSD), White Flag warming centers will be open this weekend from 7 pm to 7 am at:

• Interactive Resource Center (IRC), 407 E. Washington St. (for individuals)
• Glenwood Recreation Center, 2010 Coliseum Blvd. (for families with children)

As part of the Guilford County Continuum of Care* (Guilford CoC), the CSD activates the White Flag overnight warming centers when the actual or "feels-like" temperature is at least 32 degrees for two or more hours. White Flag alerts may also take effect when the forecast or current conditions include a winter weather event with freezing precipitation, extended below-freezing temperatures, and/or wind concerns, which may impact homeless encampments.

The IRC operates a weekend warming center from 8 am to 6 pm every Saturday and Sunday, regardless of the White Flag status, through the end of March.

* The Guilford CoC is the regional planning and coordination body responsible for strategizing, managing resources, and implementing programs to prevent and end homelessness across Guilford County.
