Extreme heat prompts state-wide Code Red alert
Scorching hot weather across South Australia over the next few days has prompted a statewide Code Red response to provide additional services for people sleeping rough.
For metropolitan Adelaide the Housing Authority has activated a Code Red across South Australia from tonight, ending the morning of Monday January 25. For the regions, the Code Red begins tonight, ending the morning of Wednesday, January 27.
During a Code Red activation, Housing SA, together with its non-government partners, makes additional accommodation and services available for extended hours for people sleeping rough in the heat.
Minister for Human Services Michelle Lensink said increasing homelessness services was vital in the extreme heat.
