Emergency Resources Centers (ERCs) are designed to provide residents access during the day to information, community, and disaster resources in the event of an extended power outage, extreme cold, and/or extreme heat conditions. 

The activation of ERCs depend on the severity of damages to the building post-storm, city staffing capacity and access to power, which means that it is not a guarantee that all 15 locations would be activated at a given time.
