The National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather / Wind Chill Advisory from Thursday evening January 22nd through 8:00 AM on Tuesday, January 27th. Wind chill temperatures will dip below zero during this period. The cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes. As a result, the City of Batavia has established a Temporary Warming Center Operation that will be open during this time frame for the benefit of the elderly, families with small children, and other vulnerable residents.

The Warming Center will be located at the Batavia Police Department, 100 N. Island Ave. While the Center will open for the week, we are unable to provide sleeping accommodations, dedicated hygiene or washing facilities, or refrigerators for food storage. When you arrive at the center, please check in at the front desk of the Batavia Police Department.

Extreme cold weather conditions can be very dangerous. Especially at risk are the elderly, infants and young children, people with disabilities and persons taking medication for chronic health conditions. Residents who have at-risk friends, neighbors or relatives should help by checking on them periodically. Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves.

Anyone with specific questions regarding the City's Warming Center should call the Batavia Police Department at 630-454-2500.

Thank you to our brothers and sisters at the Batavia Police Illinois. We couldn’t do what we do without your help!

In recognition of National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day today, we’re sending a big thank-you to all law enforcement officers for their dedication and daily sacrifices—especially our Batavia Police Officers. If you see a law enforcement officer today, give them a wave, a smile, or a quick “thank you.” It means more than you know. Stay safe out there men and women in blue, and thanks for all you do!

🖤 January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month 🖤

Cancer remains the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service. The job exposes firefighters to toxins long after the flames are out — and the risk follows them home.

Awareness matters. We are proud that we are taking steps to midigate this with clean gear, decon, education, and early detection physicals.

Take a moment this month to start the conversation in your department, check in on your brothers and sisters, and help spread the message.
