The Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) maintains contact information for staff in a secure employee alert system, Everbridge, to quickly distribute official emergency messages. Everbridge allows PDPH to simultaneously send messages to recipients via email, text, or phone call.

The Community Response Partner Network (CRPN) is a network of over 1,500 community and faith-based organizations and leaders who have signed up to receive critical information about public health emergencies to share with networks and residents. Sign up to receive information about a variety of preparedness and response topics to help all Philadelphia communities stay informed and safe.

Messages are sent out monthly and on an as needed basis.

The Office of Homeless Services (OHS) and City of Philadelphia may activate a Code Blue when we're expecting very cold conditions and Red when we're expecting very hot conditions.

  • A CODE RED may be declared when heat and humidity become a concern for people who are experiencing homelessness and those more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.
  • A CODE BLUE may be declared when winter conditions pose a threat of serious harm or death to people experiencing homelessness.
