Deep East Texas Electric Cooperative is making preparations for potential weather related outages due to Hurricane Laura.  As always, we will respond to outages as quickly and as safely as possible.

We encourage you to prepare your home and family as well.  Above all, DETEC encourages everyone to keep safety a priority.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Should you encounter a downed line, consider it live and dangerous.  Please report all downed lines and outages to DETEC at 1 (800) 392-5986. For prompt reporting, have your account number or meter number available.

 

If you or someone in your household is dependent upon life support,  identify a location you can move to that has an alternate power source.

 

Check backup generators for proper operations and remember to carefully follow generator safety precautions including NOT operating a generator indoors.

 

Monitor local weather conditions and follow warnings from local authorities.
