Help us weather the weather

Make sure you know the weather before you go out in it! Many ways exist to receive alerts about severe conditions such as storms, tornado warnings and hurricanes.   

But the homeless are less able to receive this information because we don’t have the same access to the internet. So we need more places where we can learn about these important facts. 

We know the District’s hypothermia alert occurs when it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the summer equivalent for hyperthermia alerts is 95 degrees Fahrenheit. But we often have to wait for other valuable weather news. So maybe there is a way in which the District can put up more public information displays. If that happens, we won’t be surprised by the next powerful storm.

We believe ending homelessness begins with listening to the stories of those who have experienced it.
