Lawrence County crews are actively aiding neighboring counties in recovery efforts following a recent ice storm that significantly affected the region. This response commenced on February 2, 2026, when local agencies mobilized to support areas impacted by severe weather conditions.
The Lawrenceburg Utility System (LUS) has been instrumental in these recovery efforts. LUS deployed 13 linemen to Hardin County to assist with power restoration. Furthermore, the utility completed restoration work in Wayne County, ensuring that residents had their electricity restored as swiftly as possible.
EMA Director Shelton Barnett is also involved in the recovery operations. He was deployed to Hickman County to provide assistance and coordinate efforts in that area. This collaboration among local agencies underscores the commitment to supporting neighboring communities during challenging times.
In addition, Lawrenceburg Sanitation is contributing to the recovery by assisting with debris removal. This effort is essential for clearing roadways and public spaces, creating safer conditions as the recovery process continues.
These coordinated efforts reflect the strong mutual aid partnerships across Middle Tennessee. The collaboration among various agencies illustrates a unified response to the challenges posed by the ice storm.
Looking ahead, the Lawrence County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) will continue to monitor weather conditions and recovery operations. This ongoing vigilance is crucial to ensure that all affected areas receive the necessary support and resources as they work toward recovery.
As the situation evolves, local agencies remain dedicated to providing assistance and ensuring the safety and well-being of residents in Lawrence County and surrounding areas.
