Phase 1 : Réponse immédiate

GEM is committed to an immediate and effective response to unexpected flooding across the USA in 2024. We stand ready to mobilize resources from our multiple branches, with an average response time of 24 hours. From deploying truckloads of aid to collaborating with local first responders, our focus is on providing aid, support, and recovery initiatives to those affected by floods.
