SUPERVISOR ANNOUNCES OPENING OF WARMING CENTERS IN RESPONSE TO POWER OUTAGES


Township Supervisor Kurt Heise today announced that in response to the power outages resulting from the extreme wind on Wednesday, there are currently three warming centers open and operational around the Township until power is restored. Below is a listing of the locations. They will be open 24 hours a day as long as they are needed.

• The First United Methodist Church -- 45201 N Territorial Road. This facility is open 24 hours and will provide warmth and basic beverages.

• St. Kenneth Catholic Church -- 14951 North Haggerty Road. This facility is open 24 hours and will provide warmth and basic beverages. They can also accommodate small pets.

• NorthRidge Church -- 12401 Ridge Road. This facility is open 24 hours. They discourage bringing pets; however, they will be providing warmth, basic beverages, and Wi-Fi.

DTE Energy has reported that approximately 3,000 customers are without power in Plymouth Township. Estimated restore times will not be available until later this afternoon and are likely to take several days to complete as there are 670,000 homes without power in Southeast Michigan.
