Phase 1: Immediate Response

Storm Boris caused significant flooding and devastation across Europe throughout September 2024. In regions such as Czechia & Poland, this was the worst disaster in decades. The storm took many lives and has forced thousands of people from their houses. The GEM Europe team, headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, were able to deploy to affected regions right away, bringing critical supplies to evacuated families, first responders, and shelters.

This branch supports 27 EU countries.
