The Clinton County Board of Supervisors has activated its policy to open the Clinton County Administration Building as a warming center during this period of extremely cold weather.
Those needing relief may warm in the Clinton County Administration Building, 1900 N. 3rd St., Clinton, during its normal business hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Residents are welcome to stay warm in the building’s cafeteria.
Those needing assistance outside of those hours are encouraged to contact the Red Cross at 1-800-340-4081. That number is answered 24 hours a day.
The National Weather Service is expecting wind chill temperatures of -20 to -35 into Friday morning. These temperatures are life threatening and can cause frostbite in as little at 15 minutes.
The American Red Cross and Clinton County Emergency Management Agency remind residents to periodically check on neighbors who are elderly or have medical issues.
