Wash. — As part of the “Tier 2″ severe weather response launched on Friday, the King County Regional Homeless Authority is working to provide an escape from the recent freezing overnight temperatures.
The response protocols will continue until Sunday according to officials.
A “Tier 2″ protocol means that exiting shelters are asked to expand their bed capacity while having the opportunity to request additional funds.
These funds would go towards bedding and survival supplies for the homeless.
City-owned properties would not be required to operate as shelters until a “Tier 3″ incident.
Severe weather shelters are located in:
- Seattle
- North King County
- South King County
- East King County
- Snoqualmie Valley
