Altamont city officials announced Wednesday night that it appears the city is coming out of the woods with its energy emergency as far as rolling blackouts and the potential discontinuance of natural gas supplies that would require resident evacuations. Mike Shields, Altamont police chief and public information officer, said it appears the need for evacuation is becoming less likely, though the city remains prepared and asked residents to remain prepared. While loss of natural gas supply is a diminishing concern, the extreme financial impacts the energy emergency has created remain a concern.
