Update at 6:25 p.m.: The Groveland warming center has become a Red Cross overnight shelter, according to District 4 Supervisor Kathleen Haff, who represents that area. Those needing a safe, dry and warm place to sleep can head to the Groveland Community Resilience Center. How long it will remain operational will be dependent on weather conditions, the number of power outages, and available staffing.
