Code Blue Information
What is a Code Blue Alert?
Code Blue Alerts were approved under Utah state law that became effective in 2023. The alerts are issued, by county, when temperatures in specific areas are expected to drop to 18 degrees (including the wind chill) for 2 hours or more during a 24-hour period. The alert allows shelters to relax and expand to give officials some flexibility to identify new locations to shield people who are experiencing homelessness from the cold.
