Power Outages from Storms???

In the event of power outages due to severe weather, please call your provider directly instead of 9-1-1: City of Elberton (706) 213-3278, Georgia Power (888) 891-0938, or Hart EMC (800) 241-4109. We don't have a special hotline and we can't get the power restored any faster than when you call directly. We also cannot tell you when your power will be restored as your utilities provider is the only source for that information.
In the case of Special Medical Circumstances where Medical Devices such as ventilators need power, you should contact your Utilites Provider and ask to be placed on a Priority List for power restoration. This usually must be accompanied by documentation from your Physician as to the need.
