Report your outage — call your provider
The county numbers above won't put your address on the restoration map. Report the outage to whoever sends your bill.
Not sure who serves you, or on a different co-op? Check the name on your electric bill, then find your provider's outage line in the Georgia EMC outage directory.
Stay safe during an outage
Downed lines = deadly
Treat every downed or low-hanging wire as live. Stay back at least 35 feet, keep kids and pets away, and call 911 plus your utility. Never drive over lines.
Generators & carbon monoxide
Run portable generators outside only, at least 20 feet from doors and windows — never in a garage or porch. CO is odorless and kills fast. Keep a working CO alarm.
Food & medicine
Keep the fridge and freezer shut — food stays safe about 4 hours in a closed fridge, 48 hours in a full freezer. Have a cooler and ice plan for insulin and other refrigerated medicine.
Know what's coming
Most South Georgia outages come from storms. Check Storm Desk for severe-weather and heat alerts, and Fire Watcher during dry spells.
Common questions
How do I report a power outage in Lowndes County?
Report to your own electric provider, not the county. Georgia Power: 1-888-891-0938 or text OUT to 42797. Colquitt EMC: 1-855-293-1804. Slash Pine EMC: 912-487-5201 (24-hour line). Reporting your specific address is what puts you on the restoration map.
What do the county outage numbers mean?
Each is the total customers without power in that county, adding up every utility that serves it — Georgia Power plus all local EMCs. The data is from GEMA using ORNL / U.S. Department of Energy Eagle‑I, refreshed about every 15 minutes.
Why not a separate count for Georgia Power vs. my EMC?
There's no free, official, real-time public feed broken down by individual provider. The only accurate live number is the county total (all utilities combined). For a provider-specific view, open that utility's own outage map, linked above.
Who is my electric provider around Valdosta?
It depends on your exact address. In and around Lowndes County the main providers are Georgia Power, Colquitt EMC, and Slash Pine EMC; nearby counties are served by Grady EMC, Mitchell EMC, Irwin EMC and others. Check the name on your electric bill.
