What is Code Blue? 


“Code blue event” means a weather event between October 15th and April 30th in which the National Weather Service predicts temperatures of 18 degrees Fahrenheit or less, including wind chill, or any other extreme weather conditions established in rules made by the Department of Health and Human Services to occur in any county of the first, second, third, or fourth class for two hours or longer within the next 24 to 48 hours.

Davis County is a County of the second class. What does a Code Blue mean for me? Any individual who is experiencing unsheltered homelessness when a Code Blue is issued can come to the Davis County Warming Center from 8pm-7am on any night that a Code Blue is in effect. If you have children under the age of 18 and need shelter during Code Blue, the County has partnered with Open Doors to provide non-congregate (family rooms) shelter at a separate location. Please contact Open Doors at 385-320-9043 for more information.

How do I get to the Warming Center?

The warming center is currently located at 850 South Main Street, Layton, UT 84041. We have suspended County provided shuttle service and are now providing UTA 24 hour bus passes to provide transportation to/from the warming center. There is a UTA bus stop immediately in front of the warming center (UTA Route 470). Bus passes are available for no charge at the warming center and we have also begun distributing them to various service providers and cities.  You can also contact Davis County Community and Economic Development at 801-451-3495 to obtain a pass.

What is the Warming Center?

The Davis County Warming Center is just that! It is a place to go in the evening to stay warm. Cots and bedding will be set up in the Warming Center so people can sleep if they would like. The Warming Center is only open in the evenings beginning at 8:00pm and closing the next morning at 7:30am when a Code Blue is in effect.

The current location of the warming center is the vacant building at 850 S. Main Street, Layton, UT 84041.  If for any reason that we are unable to utilize this building during a Code Blue we have three alternate locations listed below.  If one of the alternate locations needs to be utilized, we will disseminate the location to service providers, cities and local police departments prior to the 8pm check-in on Code Blue nights.

Alternate Locations (when necessary)

  • I/M (Tech Center) Building (520 Old Mill Lane, Kaysville, UT 84037)
  • North Davis Senior Center (42 State St, Clearfield, UT 84015)
  • Valley View Golf Course (2501 E Gentile St, Layton, UT 84040)


Pets are allowed at the current location of the warming center (no more than one animal per household).  If an alternate location is used for Code Blue then pets may or may not be allowed depending on the policies of that building.  The policies and procedures for accessing the warming center are linked below.
