How to help Texas wildfire victims

Vaihe 1: Välitön toiminta

GEM is responding to the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire in the Texas Panhandle. This is the second largest fire in Texas’ history. There are multiple major fires that have burned hundreds of thousands of acres so far, prompting evacuation orders in several counties. A disaster declaration is in place for 60 counties and a temporary shut down of the nuclear weapons facility has taken place. GEM is providing pallets of disaster relief throughout the affected regions to assist all those affected by the fires in Texas, as well as those who are also being impacted in Oklahoma.
