City Council member Jennifer Staubach Gates reports “The devastation is unprecedented.” She’s also worked hard to tell you that:
ONCOR
As of this afternoon 42,000 customers are still without power. Minor damage should be restored by tomorrow at the latest, and they hope to have major repairs completed no later than Thursday.
Atmos
If you smell gas, act immediately. Leave the area and from a safe distance call the 24-hour emergency response line: 866-322-8667.
Road Closures
Several roads remain closed. Please use this link to see which roads are currently closed.
Walnut Hill Rec Center
Due to extensive damage, the Rec Center will be closed for the foreseeable future. When we have a better assessment of the damage, we will provide a timeline to reopen.
Sanitation Services
Sanitation Services is bringing in contractors to assist with storm debris collection to maintain normal trash pick-up schedules. Code Compliance will not issue citations for brush and storm debris placed for pickup in areas impacted by storms. All Sanitation Transfer Stations are open according to their normal schedules for residents to drop off any brush and storm debris. Find locations at dallaszerowaste.com.
Sanitation Services is using 311 data to identify high-volume call areas for contractor pick-up. We encourage residents to dial 3-1-1 or use the Our Dallas app to report damage or downed trees.
Traffic Signals
Currently, there are multiple traffic signals impacted the storm. When residents approach intersections with signals without power or flash signals, please treat it like a four-way stop and come to a full stop.
My office will continue to update you as we learn more. If you have any questions, please reach out to my Council Liaison, Sarah Evans, at sarah.evans@dallascityhall.com or by phone at 214-670-3816.
