Inclement Weather Plan
Open Doors recognizes that the reduction to 40 guests in the primary shelter may leave a gap in services. In an effort to close the gap, we have partnered with Sentara RMH to provide overnight services to an additional 10 individuals in the most significant inclement weather. The following may trigger expanded services:
-
Actual temperatures 20 degrees or below;
-
2 inches or more of snow accumulation;
-
0.10 inch or more of ice accumulation.
Open Doors will provide staffing and meal service to the secondary shelter.
