GEM bstrong is air dropping food, water, hygiene, medicine and Starlinks to cut off communities in the Western North Carolina mountains. Thanks to @thehorseshoefarm we popped up a flight operations control room and landing pad in Hendersonville. Pilot Joe and Pilot Scott will be in the skies all week making sure our team can respond to SOS calls in real time. So far, we have responded to Black Mountain, Pensacola, Green Mountain, Swananoa, Asheville, Bat Cave, Chimney Rock, and Cattail Creek.

It has been an incredibly busy week at our GEM USA West branch. We had the privilege of hosting a visit from Cal OES at our warehouse, where we shared our upcoming plans to assist families affected by the Park Fire. During the tour, we introduced Jeff Popovich, Director of Global Warehousing for GEM, and provided a brief overview of how we utilize our Warehouse Management System (WMS) to manage all operations. Additionally, the Cal OES Public Information Officer (PIO) is scheduled to visit us in the coming week.
Now that the Park Fire has been fully contained, our GEM USA West teams have been actively working with affected families to support their recovery and assess their living conditions. After conducting intake assessments with several families, we have provided those in semi-permanent and permanent housing with essential items such as mattresses, bedding, cleaning kits, and more. #GEM #california #ParkFire

Hurricane Helene is rapidly intensifying and poses a significant threat to coastal communities. As a Category 2 hurricane, it’s expected to make landfall tomorrow with forecasters predicting Helene could reach Category 4 strength as it moves into the extremely warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico, with maximum sustained winds ranging between 130 and 156 mph. GEM ground teams are prepositioning emergency supplies and resources in vulnerable areas.
Your generous support will make a critical difference in our ability to provide life-saving aid to those affected by this storm. No matter the size, every donation will help us purchase essential supplies, fuel our response vehicles, and ensure our teams have the resources they need to be on the ground when the storm hits.
