Thunderstorms and strong winds are expected through this evening and may cause damage to power lines and substations. North Georgia EMC (NGEMC) officials say crews are ready to respond should power outages occur. Please stay away from downed lines and report them immediately to North Georgia EMC, your local power company or call 911.

NGEMC members may report outages through the NGEMC Mobile App, the NGEMC Mobile Web App, or by calling NGEMC and using the automated telephone outage reporting system. During widespread outages, customers may experience longer than normal wait times due to extremely high call volume.
