North GA county adds new generators to critical facilities for seamless emergency services
Residents of White County, Georgia, can feel a bit more comfortable when emergencies strike, knowing that the county has installed new generators at several critical facilities.
White County Public Safety purchased and installed generators at each of the county's fire stations, White County Animal Control's animal shelter, and the main communications tower that supports the county's public safety radio infrastructure.
Each of those sites plays a critical role in maintaining emergency services, and the addition of the generators ensures that operations can continue uninterrupted during severe weather events where power might be lost.
