Ice Storm Warning for Chattooga County

Chattooga County, GA — Andy Allen, Chattooga County Commissioner, urges all residents to prepare now for a significant ice storm expected to begin Saturday afternoon, January 24, 2026, and continue into Sunday.

Unfortunately, if this is an all-ice event, it will delay emergency service responses and limit the availability of county work crews. Our public works department is in place, equipped, and ready to respond as conditions allow, but icy roads and hazardous conditions will slow operations and restrict access to some areas.

Please take the following precautions:

• Stay informed. Monitor local news outlets for alerts and updates.

• Remain at home. Travel will be dangerous; avoid driving unless it is an absolute emergency.

• Prepare for outages. Be ready to be without power for a few days in the dangerous cold. Gather warm clothing, blankets, nonperishable food, water, flashlights, and a battery-powered radio or charged devices.

• Check on neighbors. If it is safe to do so, check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors before the storm and after conditions improve.

Operational note: Only essential workers will report on Monday. Nonessential county offices and services may be delayed or closed until conditions are safe.

Our crews are ready and working to keep the community safe, but your best protection is to stay home and stay informed. Please take this storm seriously and prepare now.
