Start with the supplier for the address
Georgia Power provides outage information for its customers, but do not assume it supplies every Augusta-area property. Use the utility named on your account. Report fallen wires or utility hazards directly through the appropriate emergency channel and keep away.
Describe the extent safely
A neighborhood loss and one dead room are different observations. Note what is affected from a safe position and whether a recent electrical change occurred. Do not touch damaged equipment or enter standing water to investigate.
Coordinate rather than guess
Ask the utility about its reported outage and the service business about assessment of property equipment. Utility-owned components and indoor circuits can have different responsibilities. Confirm the boundary before authorizing work.
Keep essential needs visible
If electricity loss creates an immediate medical or safety emergency, use emergency assistance rather than relying on this website. Discuss access, occupants and any critical equipment with the appropriate responsible party; no arrival or restoration time is promised here.
How the decision fits together
- Supplier
Identify the utility on the bill.

Note neighborhood, house or room effects safely.

Use the correct utility or professional channel.
