Activating a Code Blue Alert during high temperatures, New Jersey agencies collaborate to provide shelter, food, and clothing to homeless or medically fragile individuals. County and municipal governments take action, directing homeless adults to shelters with additional beds. Cooling Centers open to offer residents a place to cool down during specified hours. Code Blue Alerts and Cooling Center openings are communicated through local media, social media, municipal and county websites, and shared with NJ 2-1-1 to ensure information accessibility.
