Harvey County opens warming shelters for ice storm victims
Harvey County will open numerous “warming shelters” for those affected by the ice storm hammering much of Kansas this weekend.
The shelters are available for those who have lost electricity as a result of the storm, officials said. Residents must be prepared to be self-sufficient, as the shelters will provide warmth but no amenities.
Residents must bring their own blankets, food, medication, bedding and identification. The shelters open at 8 p.m. Saturday.
