Multiple wildfires are currently burning throughout the state of Georgia, with containment efforts stalled due to dry conditions and high winds. The fires have destroyed dozens of homes, forced evacuations in many communities, and put +1,000 more structures at risk. A state of emergency was declared in 91 counties in South Georgia, with first responders working around the clock to try and contain the current fires and prevent additional fires from igniting.
The GEM team is presently coordinating efforts with local agencies to respond most effectively to those affected by the active wildfires in Georgia. The GEM team will be on the ground April 25th to evaluate, assess needs, and immediately respond to the disaster. We are currently deploying aid from our Florida headquarters to the region to ensure critical supplies reach those who are in need of assistance.
