How to Get Involved


Davis County Warming Center Volunteers and Bus Drivers Wanted

During the 2023 state legislative session, HB 499 passed, requiring counties to develop a winter overflow response plan when the Utah Department of Health issues a "CodeCode Blue Blue" order. This occurs when temperatures drop below 15 degrees Fahrenheit for two or more hours during a 24-hour period. 

Davis County, in collaboration with our 15 cities and service providers, will be responsible for a warming shelter for unhoused individuals during Code Blue events from October 15, 2024, through April 30, 2025. Davis County Sheriff's Office will provide security for these warming shelters, and the Red Cross will provide shelter set-up training. 

Davis County is looking for volunteers to help staff the warming shelters when a Code Blue is issued. Davis County typically receives 24 to 48 hours' notice before a Code Blue event. In 2023/24 there were approximately 20 Code Blue events in Davis County. 

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, fill out the Google Form or scan the QR code. Questions about volunteering should be directed to the Davis County Emergency Management Division.

Bus drivers with a CDL who would be able to drive in the evenings from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm and in the mornings from 6:30 am to 9:00 am can contact Ryan Steinbeigle or call 801-451-3495.
