PUEBLO, Colo. — The City of Pueblo has authorized a temporary emergency declaration starting on Friday, July 12 to Sunday, July 14.
Due to the heat wave, the city is allowing churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other religious institutions to open their doors as temporary shelters for the city's homeless.
