Nearly 15,000 members had power restored since 9 pm last night in the Flint Energies service area. “Restoration crews worked all night to restore power,” said Chief Operating Officer Ty Diamond. “Flint will be reinforced with massive numbers of new workers from North Carolina, Missouri and Kentucky on Tuesday and Wednesday.”

Flint’s phone system at 1-888-354-6836 has been overwhelmed due to the phone volume, but the cooperative is asking members to patiently try their call again. The system works by matching the members’ caller ID number with the phone number in the Flint billing database. If the match does not occur automatically, the system will ask an agent to confirm the outage location. Members can also use the Flint Energies app on their smart phone to report an outage (Some Android versions not available.)

In an effort to get the greatest number of homes back on as soon as possible, service to critical needs (hospitals, water and sewer, emergency operations), substations, primary lines, and then secondary lines will be handled in this priority by the crews. Then the attention focuses on individual services. As part of its emergency plan, Flint Energies provides updates to all local media and our social media outlets. 

Options for Medical Priority Patients

Flint Energies cannot assure that electric power will always be available. If a member depends on life support, and the loss of electricity affects these life support systems, they must have a back-up plan. Flint will give critical care members priority when it begins restoring power at the tap-line and individual home stage of the restoration process. But this stage may not begin until three or four days have passed after a major storm. Caregivers of in-home critical care patients should always have an evacuation plan or a plan for how to handle extended outages in the event of a natural disaster or severe storm.
