LANSING, Mich. — The City of Lansing has activated its Code Blue extreme cold weather plan, effective Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.
It will last through 7:00 a.m. Monday, December 1, 2025.
The Cold Blue plan allows shelters to temporarily increase their hours and capacity to help neighbors stay warm.
In addition, the Lansing Fire and Police departments will be available to transport neighbors to local shelters.
Neighbors can also get free rides to a warming center or shelter through the CATA bus system, except on Thursday, when the transportation system will be closed.
The Lansing Board of Water and Light will not shut off electricity due to non-payments while the Code Blue is activated.
