Emergency warming shelters are located at the following facilities:

2. DeKalb Fire Station #2

“Safety is paramount during this storm. We want to make sure people have a warm, safe place to ride out the weather in the event they are without power or are stranded on the roads,” Brookhaven Police Chief Gary Yandura said.

Brookhaven Police officers will be stationed at each center location. Guests will be able to charge cell phones and seek comfortable refuge until power is restored and/or roads are safe for travel. 

“We are grateful to DeKalb Fire Station #2 and the YMCA for partnering with our police department to help make refuge locations as accessible as possible for those in need,” Brookhaven Mayor J. Max Davis said.
