A cold weather advisory has been issued for Savannah and Chatham County, with temperatures expected to fall into the low 30s and wind chills dropping below 20 degrees on Sunday evening through Monday morning.
In response, local authorities and community organizations have opened a warming center at the Greenbriar Children’s Center gymnasium, located at 3709 Hopkins Street. The center will be available from 7 p.m. Sunday until 7 a.m. Monday to provide shelter for those without heat or housing.
The facility can accommodate up to 50 people with cots provided. Pets are permitted as long as they remain under their owner’s control. Security will be present on-site throughout the night.
According to officials, “Chatham County, the City of Savannah, and community partners are working together to open a warming center at the Greenbriar Children’s Center for those without heat or housing.”
Media access inside the warming center will not be allowed while it is in use.
