Code Blue Alert Information

Monmouth County Office of Emergency Management will declare a Code Blue Extreme Cold Alert during periods of extremely cold weather. Code Blue is a multi-agency effort to reduce hypothermia deaths during the winter months by protecting the vulnerable unsheltered population. A Code Blue Alert enables Monmouth County authorities to make sheltering arrangements for the unsheltered.

A Code Blue Extreme Cold Alert may be declared if temperatures fall below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit or below).
