| Palmdale Opens Warming Center for Weekend Temperature Drop |
PALMDALE, CA — The City of Palmdale is opening its warming center at Victory Outreach, 37419 25th St. East, due to extreme weekend temperatures. The center will be open from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. from Friday, Feb. 7 through Sunday, Feb. 9. Transportation to Victory Outreach is available by calling 661/733-3823.
Overnight temperatures in the High Desert can drop significantly during the winter months, even as daytime temperatures remain warm and pleasant. Extremely cold air combined with brisk winds can result in dangerously cold wind chill conditions. People exposed to the harsh cold are susceptible to hypothermia, which occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it.

The City urges residents to take precautions during these extreme temperatures. For more information, visit Ready.LaCounty.gov/cold. Los Angeles County residents and business owners, including people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs, may also call the toll-free 2-1-1 number for emergency preparedness information and referral services. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 211 LA County services can also be accessed by visiting www.211la.org.
