The Cold Weather Plan provides a framework for implementing and co-ordinating cold weather preparedness and response activities which focus on reducing the negative health impacts of cold weather conditions. The Plan’s main objectives are to
- alert those most vulnerable that cold weather conditions are either expected or currently exist;
- enable those most vulnerable to take appropriate precautions;
- trigger response actions by agencies who are in a position to provide services or alter operations in such a way as to protect vulnerable people from cold weather. The Plan includes a par ticular focus on preventing direct impacts of cold exposure on people experiencing homelessness.
