COLUMBIA, Mo.
Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to hypothermia, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
According to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, certain groups are at higher risk, including the homeless, outdoor workers, children, older adults, and people with chronic health conditions.
Warming centers provide short-term shelters that open during dangerously cold or severe weather to help prevent death and injuries from exposure.
