"If you are still outside, please come inside. Being outdoors for even a brief period of time can be lethal, Mamdani said. City government is doing everything in its power to keep vulnerable New Yorkers safe and warm during this winter weather crisis. The cold is persistent, but so is this city. Let's keep looking out for one another. Stay safe. Check on your neighbors. And if you see someone in need, please call 311."
"Saturday night marked the coldest night of winter so far, with temperatures dropping into the low single digits throughout the five boroughs. The National Weather Service issued an extreme cold warning in the tri-state area lasting through Sunday afternoon. Mamdani visited Staten Island firefighters and emergency medical service workers on Saturday to thank them for their work and to discuss how New Yorkers should prepare for the freezing weekend temperatures."

Saturday night was the coldest of the winter so far, with temperatures in the low single digits across the five boroughs and an extreme cold warning from the National Weather Service lasting through Sunday afternoon. Mamdani visited Staten Island firefighters and emergency medical workers to thank them and discuss preparedness. He urged anyone outdoors to come inside, told residents to call 311 for people in need, and ordered increased signage for warming vehicles and centers. The Department of Education supported opening two new warming centers in Far Rockaway.
