As Savannah and the surrounding Coastal Empire begin to recover from the impacts of Hurricane Helene, the scene is a bit of a mixed bag. While the winds and rain from the storm have passed, thousands of folks in the area find themselves without electricity.
It’s a tough situation, and Georgia Power crews are on the ground working around the clock to bring the power back. After any major storm, the first important step is damage assessment, and that’s exactly what these hardworking men and women are focusing on right now. However, they’re facing some serious accessibility challenges due to extensive tree damage and debris scattered everywhere.
To tackle these issues and speed things up, Georgia Power has stepped up by deploying additional resources to the affected areas. These extra crews are starting to arrive and will continue to roll in through Saturday, providing a much-needed boost to the restoration efforts.
In a recent announcement, Georgia Power emphasized their commitment to restoring power for everyone affected, stating that their restoration activities will continue non-stop, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They’re determined to get the lights back on as quickly as they can!
By late Saturday afternoon, the company plans to provide estimated restoration times based on geographical areas. This will give residents an idea of when they might expect their power to be restored, which is definitely reassuring for those currently in the dark.
As the line crews work tirelessly to get power back on, it’s essential for residents to stay informed. Regular updates are being provided on what’s happening both on the ground and online, so you can always check the status of the outages in your area.
It’s important to remember that while the situation may seem daunting right now, the dedicated teams are doing their best to clear up the debris and make the infrastructure safe again so that power can be restored swiftly. So, hang in there, Savannah! The community spirit is strong, and with a little patience, things will be back to normal.
In the meantime, here are a few friendly reminders to keep in mind while you’re waiting for the power to come back:
As we all band together and support one another during this challenging time, Savannah can look forward to a brighter, fully-lit future. Residents can stay updated on restoration efforts as they unfold, and everyone is hopeful that Georgia Power will have us all up and running soon!
