Hurricane Preparedness
Hurricane preparedness is not just a seasonal commitment, but a core component of our organization. Being headquartered in one of the most hurricane prone regions, GEM is familiar with the requirements of a successful and impactful response. Our hurricane preparedness efforts allow for rapid mobilization of necessary humanitarian aid after hurricane landfall in the Gulf & Atlantic regions. Our geographical advantage works to allow for a continuous flow of aid from our existing infrastructure to the disaster sites.
Our proactive annual efforts include stocking critical supplies, packing Family Necessity Kits, communicating with emergency agencies, coordinating volunteers & local partners, and staging response teams in advance of landfall.
Hurricane preparedness is important as it greatly reduces our response time and helps get help to those who need it most right away.
