As of 9 a.m., about 5,500 NGEMC customers are currently without power as a result of high winds, fallen trees and downed power lines. Crews are currently working to restore power in Chattooga, Gordon and Walker counties.

 

The public should stay away from downed lines and report them immediately to North Georgia EMC, their local power company or call 911.

 

Extra crews are on ready to respond should storm conditions cause more power outages. Crews will remain on duty until all power has been restored and to work new outages that may occur if storms persist.

To report outages, customers should call our offices to reach our 24-hour dispatch. During widespread outages, phone lines may be unavailable due to extremely high call volume.
