With cold coming, Tri-Cities' warming center to reopen
SOMERSWORTH — The Tri-Cities’ overnight warming center will reopen Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights due to “potentially life-threatening low temperatures” in the forecast for this weekend, the cities announced Wednesday morning.
The emergency walk-in facility, located at 30 Willand Drive, will open at 5 p.m. each of those nights and close at 9 a.m. the morning after. Anyone seeking shelter may arrive any time between those hours this weekend. Referrals and reservations aren’t required.
Dover, Somersworth and Rochester created the regional center in December, operating it with Strafford County’s arm of the Integrated Delivery Network and help from local social service agencies and volunteers, to provide a walk-in, overnight facility during periods of life safety risk and extreme cold weather emergencies.
