Fase 1: Resposta imediata

A powerful series of winter storms is set to sweep across the United States, bringing heavy snow, ice, and dangerously low temperatures from the Plains to the East Coast. It is estimated that 50% of the USA’s population will be impacted by this storm. Forecasters warn that tens of millions of people will lose access to power for prolonged stretches, without access to travel and resources becoming extremely limited. Global Empowerment Mission has prepositioned to respond immediately to the state of emergency and distribute critical supplies to those affected.

GEM’s response to the February 2021 Texas Winter Blackout, that left millions without heat & power during an extreme cold event, included large scale aid deliveries and distributions, reaching 16 affected communities.
