'Code Blue' Issued For Areas Of South Jersey: See Details

Multiple regions of South Jersey, like much of the state, will be under a "Code Blue" state overnight with temperatures that are estimated to hover around 31 degrees.

When temperatures fall below freezing and weather could harm unsheltered individuals, a group of agencies across the state activate resources within their communities.

Under a "Code Blue," county offices of emergency management and municipalities are able to organize shelter and warming sites for residents and those who are homeless.

According to NJ 211, Burlington County and Camden County will be under a "Code Blue" from 7 p.m. on Thursday to 7 a.m. on Friday.

Gloucester County began under the alert at 6 p.m. on Thursday and will stay under the designation until 6 a.m. on Friday.

Warming Centers

• Burlington County
• Camden County
• Gloucester County

Additional assistance and resources to combat the cold weather can be found by visiting the Red Cross NJ website.

If you or someone you know needs emergency shelter, contact 211.
