The Cold and Your Safety

  • It is important to watch for signs of hypothermia and frostbite.  The State of Michigan has more information about the warning signs of hypothermia and frostbite. 
  • If you know or see someone out in the cold, please contact 911 or the non-emergency police phone line at (734) 722-9600.  Our emergency personnel will work diligently to ensure they are taken to a safe place to stay warm.
  • Pets should also be considered with the colder weather.  Dogs cannot handle being left outside in temperatures below freezing for more than a few minutes without being at extreme risk for hypothermia, frostbite, and even death.  Please report findings of animals left outside without proper shelter to Neighborhood Services at (734) 713-3733, the Animal Care and Control Services online form, or the non-emergency police line at (734) 722-9600 for after hour reporting.
  • Your house is also susceptible to issues caused by extreme cold.  Be careful with your water pipes.  Here are some helpful tips for preventing and thawing frozen pipes.
