As a winter storm moves into Northwest Georgia, emergency management and local agencies across Chattooga County are urging residents to stay informed, prepare now, and avoid travel if icing develops. Chattooga County EMA says residents should continue checking the agency’s updates for the latest information on CRC warming station hours , road hazards or closings , and changing weather conditions. EMA also reminded residents that 911 cannot report power outages to power companies , because providers require customer account information from the individual reporting the outage. Officials stress that if roads become icy, residents should stay home and avoid driving . The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office echoed that message, directing the public to Chattooga EMA’s Facebook page for the most up-to-date information. Deputies noted the area remains in the range for moderate icing from Saturday evening through early Monday morning , and urged residents: if you don’t have to get out, don’t. The City of Summerville says it continues monitoring updated forecasts and has already taken several steps to prepare. Fire and Police vehicles have been equipped for icy conditions, including chains. T
