Storm warning in Istanbul!30 December 2019 Monday
According to the data provided by the General Directorate of Meteorology and AKOM of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the wind blowing in Istanbul is expected to turn into a storm in the afternoon. IMM continues to host the citizens living on the streets.

The wind blowing in the form of a storm (40-65km / h) from north directions in Istanbul is expected to be effective as a strong storm (50-80km / h) until Tuesday morning by increasing its intensity from noon.

It is estimated that temperatures that are expected to decline to around 5°C, especially at night, will be 4 ° C cooler than measured by the storm and may pose a danger of freezing for homeless and citizens staying on the streets.

Experts advise against caution (freezing, land, sea and air transport failures, tree overturning, signage and roof flying, etc.) due to cold weather and storms.

On the other hand; IMM continues to host men living on the streets in the guesthouse in Esenyurt IMM Training Center and women in the IMM Kayışdağı Almshouse Center. In these centers, people living on the streets are provided with health, cleaning, security and catering services.

In the scope of this application, which will continue throughout the winter, the homeless people who are seen on the street are requested to inform the “153 IMM White Desk” line, 112 Medical Emergency or nearby security forces and police teams. IMM also began to collect homeless citizens from the streets by evaluating the reports.
