IRWIN EMC BRACING FOR POSSIBLE POWER OUTAGES We are diligently watching the weather forecast and preparing for possible power outages due to the predicted winter storm. We have a variety of contingency plans in place to address problems associated with ice forming on tree limbs and power lines and cold weather which can cause damage and outages to the distribution system. Our employees are preparing trucks with emergency equipment and necessary materials, should the weather cause outages. If needed, Irwin EMC will call upon neighboring EMCs that are not hit by the storm to provide help and support. We are stocked with poles, wire, connectors, transformers and other supplies frequently used in the restoration process. Vendors have been contacted to be on standby in case additional materials are needed. Our employees are on a heightened state of readiness and prepared to react immediately to all power outages. Our line workers are coming to work with extra clothes, boots, socks and rain gear to work until any outages are repaired. In the event that you do experience a power outage, please call our office at (229) 468-7415 or 1-888-308-6582. We will post updates on our web page irwinemc and on Facebook.
