Hurricane Helene struck Georgia late Sept. 26, 2024, and left a path of destruction through numerous communities. Over the past week and a half, the Georgia National Guard has been activated to provide response and recovery support across the state to areas impacted by the storm.
Over 1,900 Georgia National Guardsmen and Georgia State Defense Force personnel were mobilized to assist with search and rescue, route clearance, and distribution of supplies. The Georgia National Guard assisted local agencies across 35 counties with distributing over 32,000 pounds of water, hygiene products, food and delivering 24,000 gallons worth of fuel to keep communities running.
