Level 3 activation also means transportation to shelter will be available from rally points around the city.

Additional locations, including space for families and those with pets, are available by appointment coordinated through the United Way 211 Helpline or by speaking with a coordinator at a rally point. If a walk-up shelter reaches capacity, transportation will be provided to another shelter with sufficient capacity.
Those seeking transportation to shelters can get picked up between 5 and 7 p.m. at the following rally point locations:
North City:

If alternative transportation is required, contact the United Way 211 Helpline by dialing 211.
With winter precipitation expected later this week, the Street Department is currently planning to begin brining arterial snow routes on Thursday morning.
The City of St. Louis and its partners are closely monitoring the weather conditions and will continue to provide updates on emergency shelter and efforts to keep streets passable, as needed.
