Where to Find Warming Centers in Dallas-Fort Worth

If your power is still out and you need somewhere to warm up and charge your phone, there are dozens of temporary warming centers in North Texas. Many are offering overnight shelter, and some can accommodate pets. Bringing your own supplies–like blankets, food, and water–is advised, as most facilities have limited resources.

This post will be updated regularly; please send any additional information to [email protected]. The Dallas Morning News also has a warming center resource here. Meanwhile, Dallasites101 created a crowdsourced document of resources here. Finally, this guide will point you to restaurants that are open for those who need to warm up, charge devices, or use Wi-Fi.

Many of these warming centers are offering transportation–click on the location for additional information. Know someone who needs help finding or getting to a warming center, but cannot access or navigate the web? Dialing 211 will connect them with an operator who can provide further assistance.
