ATLANTA, Oct. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power crews have re-entered Coastal Georgia and restoration efforts are well underway with a workforce of nearly 5,000 personnel from Georgia Power and assisting utilities mobilized to restore power following Hurricane Matthew. Crews are navigating extensive damage, including flooding and roads blocked by downed trees and debris, and working as quickly and safely as possible to restore power for affected customers.
The company has issued the following update on restoration efforts:
As part of Southern Company, as well as a national mutual assistance network, Georgia Power is able to receive assistance from other utilities not impacted by the storm to aid in restoration efforts. Utilities from other states, including Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, are currently in Georgia working alongside Georgia Power crews to restore service for customers.
Georgia Power reminds customers that dangerous conditions exist following a storm. Never touch any downed or low-hanging wire, including telephone or cable wires that touch a power line. Never pull tree limbs off power lines yourself or enter areas with debris, downed trees or standing water as downed power lines may be buried in wreckage. If using a generator, follow all manufacturers' connection and safety instructions and shut the generator down before reconnecting to Georgia Power service.
Residents should also work to relocate elderly, ill or disabled family members who did not evacuate. Restoration for all customers could take days, especially in remote areas and on the coast.
The company also offers the following tools you can use to stay informed during restoration efforts:
