Timmins' cold weather response plan provides a framework for coordinating cold weather response activities. The goal of the plan is to help prevent the harmful health impacts of cold exposure on people experiencing homelessness.
The plan's main objectives are to:
- Alert those most vulnerable that cold weather conditions are either expected or currently happening;
- Enable those most vulnerable to take appropriate precautions and seek shelter;
- Trigger response actions by agencies who are in a position to provide services or alter operations in such a way to protect vulnerable people from cold weather.
