As of Jan. 28, warming centers have been activated in Lansing.

The Lansing office of emergency management put in to play the warming centers when they learned of the extreme cold coming to mid-Michigan on Wednesday.

Warming centers are especially important for seniors and people with chronic health conditions.

They allow folks to get out of the cold, warm up, maybe get a snack or a meal, and then head back home.

They are considered "temporary day-time shelters."
