LITTLE ROCK – With a major winter storm and bitterly cold temperatures expected Friday evening and through the weekend, the City of Little Rock will mobilize its temporary emergency shelter starting Friday, Jan. 23.
The shelter will open at 6 p.m. Friday and remain open 24 hours a day until further notice. The shelter is located at Dunbar Community Center, 1001 W. 16th St.
The emergency shelter is open to anyone who needs a safe, warm and dry place to stay during what is expected to be a sustained period of dangerously cold weather.
No identification is required at the shelter, and pets are allowed in kennels provided by Little Rock Animal Village.
As the City braces for the impact of a potential winter storm, Little Rock’s Public Works Department is making preparations to clear and treat roads. Starting predawn Friday, crews will begin pre-treating bridges, overpasses and some steep streets. Once precipitation begins, crews will work in 12-hour shifts around the clock, first clearing designated snow routes before moving to secondary roads and neighborhood streets.
