WE PROVIDE THE SPACE, WE PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES. YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS BEEN GRACEFUL IN HELPING US WITH SECURITY, WITH, YOU KNOW, POLICE JUST MAKING SURE THIS IS A SAFE PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO COME. THE SALVATION ARMY IS OFFERING 35 COTS FOR PEOPLE TO STAY AT THROUGHOUT CODE BLUE, INCLUDING SNACKS AND DRINKS. THERES A PLACE TO KEEP PEOPLE WARM DURING THE DAY, AND THEY CAN COME IN. WE DO HAVE SOME COTS AVAILABLE FOR SOME OF THEM. FOR SOME OF THEM TO, YOU KNOW, TO BE ABLE TO TAKE NAPS. WE PROVIDE BREAKFAST. WE PROVIDE LUNCH, WE PROVIDE SHOWERS AND LAUNDRY SERVICES. THE RED CROSS REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER SAYS THEYRE ON STANDBY, BUT WANTS PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF HOUSE FIRES, WHICH SHE SAYS ARE FREQUENT DURING TIMES LIKE THIS. IF YOURE USING A SPACE HEATER, KEEP IT OUT IN THE OPEN. DONT HAVE IT NEXT TO FLAMMABLE ITEMS. IF YOU ARE USING A FIREPLACE, KEEP IT NICE AND CLEAN AND THINGS AWAY FROM IT. JUST REALLY ENSURE THAT ALL YOUR HEAT SOURCES ARE ALSO BEING MONITORED AT ALL TIMES. NOW CODE BLUE WILL BE ACTIVATED UNTIL WEDNESDAY, UNTIL WEDNESDAY, AND AS OF ALBUQUERQUE, THE ALBUQUERQUES WESTSIDE SHELTER IS AT 100% CAPACITY AND OTHER SHELTERS AROUND THE CITY.
