Coastal EMC reports only two of its Liberty County customers are without power, and Georgia Power has 55 Liberty County customers without power, across 32 different outages.

Alabama Power has set up a staging area for crews at Highways 84 and 196 East. The staging area includes sleeping trailers, fuel, food tent, showers and port-o-lets. There is breakfast and team meeting each day at 6:30 a.m. for updates, safety information, and work assignments. Crews return after dark.

Contract crews include line workers, tree crews, hydrovac trucks and traffic control and there is representation from at least 50 companies, including some from Canada, according to Alabama Power. There are 30 employees from Alabama Power’s Southern and Southeast divisions and logistics teams from other Alabama Power locations.

At the command center, crews check in after work to report accomplishments, resources needs and estimated times of restoration, or ETRs. The command center team then clears trouble, updates numbers and allocates resources for the next day and provides additional equipment, contact numbers and updates maps and ETRs during the day.
