City of Hamtramck issued the following announcement on June 10
DTE Energy is continuing to prepare for severe weather that is forecasted to hit Southeast Michigan Wednesday afternoon, potentially causing a significant number of power outages. We understand that these are challenging times, and we want to assure you that the health and safety of our customers and our employees is our top priority. Our crews are on standby and are ready to respond should high winds cause outages. Due to the pandemic, we are taking extra measures to keep people safe, including practicing social distancing and washing our equipment between jobs.
Our smart grid technology will notify us if customers experience an outage, and we’ll deploy our crews accordingly. However, if customers would like to report an outage, they can do so via the DTE Energy Mobile App or at outage.dteenergy.com. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, please refrain from calling our customer service line unless it’s an emergency (such as a downed power line). Follow DTE on Facebook and Twitter for the latest information.
Storm preparation tips:
- Charge all mobile devices now and have extra battery packs on hand
- Assemble an emergency kit, including flashlights, candles, a battery-powered radio, bottled water and non-perishable food
- To keep your food safe if there is an outage, please review this linkfor more information.
- Stay at least 20 feet away from a downed power line. If you suspect a downed line, report it immediately through our mobile app, website or by calling us at 800.477.4747 and be sure to keep your family and pets away. Do not drive over downed lines, and know what to do if one falls on your vehicle.
- Never use a portable generator inside your home. It emits carbon monoxide, which can be deadly. Keep it outside, away from windows and doors so the fumes won’t come in.
