Under the direction of Gov. Brian Kemp, Georgia DNR is working with the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency and other agency partners as Helene approaches Georgia.

DNR teams are ready to respond for search and rescue, to clear roads, conduct water rescues, provide security, and deliver critical supplies. Teams are staged at Little Ocmulgee State Park and regional offices across the state to respond as needed. DNR’s Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites outside of the path of the storm are open and reservations are available to people and pets, including horses at parks with equestrian facilities, evacuating from the storm.

Georgians should continue to follow the guidance of GEMA and local emergency management agencies regarding Helene.
