Recent reporting from the Billings Gazette highlighted the Montana Rescue Mission’s activation of Code Blue as temperatures plunged below zero. With the extreme cold, we have expanded emergency service hours to 24 hours a day, and are currently sheltering 156 individuals, including 105, in our emergency facility. We’re grateful to provide warmth, safety, and care in these dangerous conditions, and we appreciate the community’s continued support as we meet this urgent need.
The Montana Rescue Mission activates Code Blue procedures when there is a real-feel temperature of 20 degrees or below, with the option to adjust for harsh weather conditions. We also consider advisories from emergency weather notification services.
