What is the Hazard Weather Shelter Plan?
Thurston County coordinates the Hazard Weather Shelter Plan, intended to provide shelter and other accommodations for unhoused citizens during episodes of extreme weather. Such weather is defined in the Plan to include: deep freezes, wind storms, floods, earthquakes and other life-threatening hazardous conditions. This means providing shelter for people not in the regular year-round shelter system. This Hazard Shelter Plan is intended to accommodate people who might not survive in outdoor camps, doorways or cars.
