Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I live in Metro Atlanta. I went to work and there was no power in the facility. We (other employees and I) the power bill was past due. We tried to call the owner of the business, but received no call back after two days. We called the other affiliated businesses and there was no answer. Can we go apply for unemployment?
