Fayetteville residents can breathe a little easier as the city's public services crews and contractors worked swiftly to clear roadways following Hurricane Helene's wrath. According to a City of Fayetteville announcement, the response teams had efficiently removed fallen trees and debris by midday Thursday, facilitating the reopening of all affected roadways.
Despite the quick cleanup, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) cautioned that the storm's legacy may not be fully behind us. They highlighted the potential for additional trees to simply topple and power lines to come down due to the storm system's strong winds and heavy rain. Citizens are urged to call 911 immediately if they encounter any downed power lines.
The city isn't taking any chances with public safety. In case Fayetteville's citizens should notice any fallen trees obstructing the roadways or public spaces, they're instructed to dial 770-461-HELP (4357) to reach the non-emergency line. This allows public service crews to mobilize and address the situation posthaste.
