HURRICANE UPDATES

(latest news as of September 6th)

Picture
No SNAP Early Release for Georgia
 
The FNS did not approve Georgia's request for a waiver that would allow the early release of the SNAP benefits for some of those recipients living in the 21 counties affected by the State of Emergency.
 
September benefits will be distributed with no change.

Please contact Kathy Kuzava or Kim Peterson if we can assist you.



Final Storm Update
 
This morning, Governor Brian Kemp lifted the mandatory evacuation order for all counties, effective at 9:30 am. Travel restrictions and curfews have also been lifted.
 
The State of Emergency is still in effect for 21 counties. We are grateful that our state was spared the full brunt of the storm, and our hearts go out to those currently in its path, and who have already been affected by Dorian's devastation.
 
Chatham County EMA also reported that the Talmadge Memorial Bridge has been reopened. If you have questions on certain road conditions, this DOT site is terrific!
 
Please contact the GFIA office if you have questions or need assistance with any regulatory matters. 

Power Outages? Storm Damage?
 
The Georgia Department of Agriculture is asking if any of our members experienced power outages or damages due to the storm. There were approximately 12,000 power outages responded to in the Chatham county area.
 
Please send any power outage information to Kathy Kuzava so we can forward it to our friends at the DOA.
