KITSAP – Due to below freezing temperatures at night, the Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management will activate the county’s Severe Weather Shelter Plan.

Both shelters will be open tonight, Tuesday, Nov. 24.

Hours of operation will be from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m. Guests will not be able to check into the shelter after 9 p.m.

The locations include The Salvation Army, 832 6th St., in Bremerton and the Kingston Community Center, 1212 NE State Hwy 104, in Kingston.

The severe weather shelters will serve all citizens in our area who require safe overnight refuge where none is available. Further activations will be weather dependent.
