Mayor Andy Schor, in consultation with the Lansing Fire Department’s Emergency Management Division and the Department of Human Relations & Community Services (HRCS), is once again activating the City’s Code Blue weather plan. Due to forecasted cold weather conditions, implementation of this policy will be in effect during overnight hours each night, starting at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 13, 2026, ending Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 7:00 a.m.
Lansing’s Letts Community Center will be open and serve as a warming center through the overnight hours, each night from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m.
In addition, the CATA warming bus will operate 24 hours along Route 1 through the Code Blue activation period.
The Code Blue plan enables local shelters to operate additional hours and temporarily increase capacity as available. In addition, it allows the Lansing Fire and Police departments to transport those needing assistance to local shelters. The CATA bus system will also provide free rides to those who need to get to a warming center or shelter.
The following is a list provided by HRCS staff of emergency cold weather shelters available through the current Code Blue activation.
