warming stations
Emergency cold-weather shelters
Warming stations are designated public spaces where people can escape dangerously cold weather, typically operated by cities or charitable organizations during winter emergencies.
They provide heated shelter for the homeless or anyone caught without adequate protection from freezing temperatures: The city opened warming stations when temperatures dropped below zero.
