While most should try to stay home, linemen are out and prepared to respond if and when they are needed.

Spokesman Matthew Kent said Georgia Power crews are equipped with snow chains, and the right tires to help workers get to the troubled spots.

Kent also said the public can help.

“If any of our customers, or anyone driving sees a Georgia Power crew on the side of the road, just please move over,” he said. “Give them a little space to do their work so everyone is safe.”

Kent added that if anyone sees a line come down, assume it is live and dangerous, and stay far away. Georgia Power also urges anyone that sees a line come down, to call Georgia Power, or 911.
