How Georgia Power restores power
From Georgia Power’s restoration page:
- First: hospitals, emergency and public safety services, military installations, and water and wastewater stations.
- Next: repairs that return power to the most customers in the least time.
- Last: smaller lines, down to individual lines in neighborhoods.
Crews start only when conditions are safe: after the storm passes, winds drop and lightning moves away. If the meter or service entrance on your house is damaged, Georgia Power says it cannot reconnect until a certified electrician repairs it; then call 877-749-3931 to schedule reconnection.

The Dunwoody Police Department sends free emergency alerts through Nixle. Text your ZIP code to 888777 or register at local.nixle.com. The department says Nixle should not be your main source of weather warnings; use a weather radio or a weather app. Forecasts and warnings for Dunwoody come from the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City.

- Save 888-891-0938 in your phone before the next storm.
