WINTER WEATHER UPDATE, FEB. 16, 4:45 P.M. The City of Tulsa, Tulsa Area Emergency Management Agency (TAEMA), and various community partners have mobilized resources for extreme cold temperatures and winter weather coming to Tulsa this week. Extreme cold is expected to enter the area starting Monday night and continue through Friday. With wind chill values in the negative double-digits, exposure to these types of temperatures are life-threatening and can lead to frostbite and hypothermia. During these temperatures, Tulsans are encouraged to stay inside whenever possible, check on their neighbors, and be prepared both at home and while traveling. These temperatures can also have an impact on waterline breaks and water pipes inside people’s homes. Residents are asked to take precautions now to protect their pipes, including covering all outside faucets; opening inside cabinets on outside walls; and preparing to drip inside faucets. For additional safety tips and information about extreme cold weather, visit cityoftulsa.org/weather. Getting People Inside Outreach teams from A Way Home for Tulsa agencies are working to ensure those experiencing homelessness have knowledge of safe and warm spaces available to them. As part of ongoing operations, two overflow shelters will open on Monday, February 17, at 2 p.m. New overflow shelters include: One Hope Tulsa- Rose Bowl (7419 E. 11 St.) – Operating as an overflow shelter for adults Tulsa Dream Center (4122 W. 55 Pl.) – Serving as an overflow shelter for adults; this location is also pet-friendly Overflow shelters will be in addition to the existing network of services available at: • Salvation Army Center of Hope (102 N.

Metro Link Tulsa In addition to opening Denver Avenue Station as a warming station, all ride fares will be FREE from Feb. 18-20. Street Preparations City street crews are watching the forecast and preparing to respond to winter weather on Tuesday. Initial plans are to have brine crews (crews who apply salt/water mixture to roads) treat elevated surfaces ahead of the change to all snow Tuesday afternoon. Currently, crews are scheduled to come in at midnight on Tuesday and respond until all of Tulsa’s main roads are passable. The City will make adjustments to this plan based on the most updated forecasts and additional details will be provided on Monday. As background, the City of Tulsa is responsible for clearing snow and ice from all arterial (main) streets, but not from most major highways that pass through. The only highways the City treats are the Gilcrease Expressway (except for the Turnpike extension), and the L.L. Tisdale Expressway. All other highway segments in Tulsa (i.e. I-44, I-244, Broken Arrow Expressway, the Creek Turnpike, Highway 169, etc.) are the responsibility of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. The City's snow and ice routes, in addition to the resources the City has to treat Tulsa's roads, can be found online at cityoftulsa.org/winterprepared….
