There are a few ways to request help with damage in Macon following Hurricane Helene, and it’s not always 911.
Macon-Bibb County urged people to only contact 911 in case of emergencies, as officials anticipated a greater call volume during the storm. There are other options for non-emergencies.
If physical damage is found, such as fallen trees or electrical poles, people should inform the Macon-Bibb County Emergency Management Agency by calling 833-535-4362, or submit a damage form via the MBC Alert mobile app. One can access the form by clicking “Hurricane Helene” in a red bubble on the app’s home page, then click “Report Damage.”…
