🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 As we all know, Hurricane Milton is expected to be catastrophic - not only for people, but for their pets, too! One of the top reasons that people do not evacuate prior to a storm is that they do not want to leave their pets behind.
GEM Bstrong is proud of our animal rescue arm and partner, @flewthecoop_ and their new initiative with @getfidotabbyalert Pet Disaster Alert (P.D.A.). This life-saving program is designed to provide real-time alerts and resources during hurricanes and disasters, helping pet owners quickly locate and reunite with their furry loved ones. P.D.A. truly protects pets in times of chaos, and disaster offering hope and peace of mind when it’s needed most.
Together, we’re making a difference, one rescue at a time. Please visit https://www.fidoalert.com/pda to register for FREE! #PetDisasterAlert #HurricaneMilton #AnimalRescue #GEMmissions #Bstrong #flewthecoop

Today GEM Bstrong in partnership with long time Western North Carolina artisan supporters @thehorseshoefarm, launched our Small Business and Artisan Relief Fund.
This is a place where the mountains hold magic and the artisans are the soul of these communities. This fund will support hundreds of small businesses, artists, artisans and craftsmen whose livelihoods were washed away from Hurricane Helene.
We need to raise a very minimum of 5 M just for this fund considering the hundreds of small businesses that are wiped out. It’s time to slowly shift from phase 1 (band aids) to phase 2 sustainability (cure). Thank you @gmanews.
Please go to our bio-link to support.

Today marks one year since the tragic October 7th attacks. Since this day, GEM has been supporting civilians caught in the crossfire and fog of war. As humanitarians, our role is simple — we support people in extreme need.
Our teams have been relentlessly navigating aid delivery in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon. These active war zones require brave leadership, strategic planning, and the ability to pivot frequently.
Here’s how we have carefully responded to this crisis over the past year. https://www.globalempowermentmission.org

@globalempowermentmission is delivering Starlinks via helicopter to isolated mountain towns in North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene. These communities have been cut off from the outside world for a week. Starlinks are a critical component to establish communication and access to relief. We will continue supporting these towns until North Carolina is reconnected.

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.
@aerialrecoverygroup is supporting our team with ground reconnaissance in the areas where information in scarce and situations are unknown.
We are especially grateful to Joe Rich, Scott Fowler, Kevin Goad, David and Scott Knoblauch, Brian Leonard, Gary Seymore, and Ross Johnson for providing the aviation equipment without which these operations would have been impossible.
