‘Look after one another’: Detroit declares weather emergency amid extreme cold

With temperatures falling to levels we haven’t seen in this area in nearly a decade, the City of Detroit officially declared a weather emergency on Friday morning, which opens up numerous resources to keep people safe. “This is a time for Detroiters to look after one another,” Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield said on Friday morning. “If you know someone who is in need, if you see someone who is outside and looks unsafe, we want every Detroit to be safe and warm.”
