We want to let everyone know that Dr. Hinko's bull terrier Toby passed away peacefully in early April after a very long battle against heart disease. Although their time with us is never enough, Toby lived the good/spoiled life as Doc's constant companion. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

We're under an extreme cold watch, particularly for Monday night into Tuesday. Please bring your pets inside at night if at all possible.

Code Blue Activation Due to Frigid Temperatures

The City of Santa Fe has activated Code Blue from January 7th through January 9th due to dangerously cold weather conditions. This initiative is designed to save lives by providing essential resources and expanding overnight sheltering and daytime warming operations for individuals experiencing homelessness during severe weather periods. Emergency services are working closely with nonprofit partners and outreach teams to meet the needs of the community.

Santa Fe Fire Department and Alternative Response Unit staff are conducting proactive outreach, distributing cold weather gear, and coordinating transportation to shelters for willing individuals. Park Rangers are engaging with individuals during daytime hours, while Transit services are assisting with transportation for those requiring shelter access before 10 PM.

Emergency sheltering options include the Interfaith CommunityShelter (Pete’s Place), which has capacity for new intakes. An additional temporary emergency shelter will be opened by the Interfaith Leadership Alliance and operated by the American Red Cross for all 3 nights of Code Blue, as well additional nights if Code Blue is extended. St. Elizabeth’s shelters are open and currently at 100% capacity.

The Salvation Army will be providing a daytime warming facility, including meals and other services from 8-4pm. Interfaith Community Shelter will also be providing day services.

Christus St. Vincent’s will be coordinating with shelter providers, the ARU, as well as City transit to coordinate sheltering of unhoused individuals who may be discharged.

Partner organizations, including the Salvation Army, the Life Link, Southwest Care Center, and the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness are offering outreach and additional resource coordination for unhoused individuals throughout the Code Blue activation.

The City of Santa Fe reminds residents to avoid calling 911 to report individuals who are not in acute medical distress. If you suspect a medical emergency, please call 911 immediately.
