PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The City of Providence said it will be opening multiple overnight warming centers ahead of expected severely cold weather on Jan. 20. The following locations will be open overnight: The DaVinci Center at 470 Charles Street from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Jan. 20 and Jan. 21; Crossroads Rhode Island at 160 Broad St.;  Providence Rescue Mission at 627 Cranston St.;  Emmanuel House at 239 Public St. In addition, the Providence Emergency Management Agency advised all residents stay indoors when possible and limit exposure to the cold and wind. PEMA released the following cold weather tips: Be aware of the fire danger from space heaters and candles; keep such devices away from all flammable materials.  Install recommended smoke and carbon monoxide detectors (at least one of each per floor in your home).  Stay indoors and use safe heating sources.  Do not use charcoal or other fuel-burning devices, such as grills indoors; these produce carbon monoxide.  Outdoors, stay dry and in wind-protected areas.  Wear a hat or hood to prevent heat from escaping the body and several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing, covering all exposed skin during exposure.  Bring household pets inside, if possible.  Check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and people with special needs.  Wear mittens, a hat and cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs.  Watch for signs of frostbite—skin appears white and waxy, numbness or no feeling in that area and/or possible blister.  Watch for signs of hypothermia—shivering and numbness, confusion or dizziness, stumbling and weakness, slow or slurred speech and shock.  Residents can sign up for the CodeRED emergency notification system here.
