COMMUNITY RESOURCE DIRECTORY
When a heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing, drain, or water-heating issue temporarily makes home life difficult, these official and established community resources may help while service is underway. Erkies does not operate or control these outside organizations, programs, locations, schedules, or availability.
For immediate danger, contact emergency services.
Immediate threats to life, fire, serious medical emergencies, suspected dangerous gas conditions, or other urgent safety hazards should be directed to emergency services and the appropriate utility—not delayed while waiting for a home-service contractor. Follow the instructions provided by those authorities.
