As Hurricane Helene approaches our service territory, we are encouraging all members to prepare now for severe weather and power outages. We are urging those who are dependent on medical devices that require electricity to make plans to ensure your safety.
In the event of a power outage, Colquitt EMC wants to restore power to members as quickly and safely as possible. Power outages are worked from the substation out, meaning we cannot restore power to individual homes without making repairs to the circuits and tap lines.
Colquitt EMC encourages all members to make preparations now. Ensure you have battery backup or access to a safe location with a reliable power source. If you experience an emergency, please call 911.
Stay safe, Colquitt EMC!
