GEMA

The Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) is the lead state agency for coordination of emergency and disaster response activities.

 

GEMA has prepared a fact sheet that outlines items that are eligible for reimbursement as well as other important steps to remember and tips for planning ahead. A Constituent Services Resource Sheet was prepared to assist in responding to calls from constituents concerning the severe weather impacting Georgia.
