Georgia has never faced a storm of this magnitude, and during this unprecedented time, we want you to know that the Georgia Women’s Chamber of Commerce is here to offer our full support. Whether you’ve been directly affected by this storm or are looking for ways to assist fellow members who have been impacted, we are united in our efforts to help.
In times like these, it’s crucial for our community to come together, and we encourage you to share these important resources provided by the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. These resources are designed to provide assistance, guidance, and support for those in need as we work toward recovery.
Please feel free to share this information with fellow members, neighbors, or anyone in your network who may benefit from it. We’re stronger together, and every act of support makes a difference. Here’s the link to the resources: https://www.gachamber.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Hurricane-Helene-Resources-2.pdf
Here is some additional information you may find helpful provided by the Georgia Chamber.
On Wednesday, we’ll (Georgia Chamber) be providing virtual updates throughout the day with our utility company CEO’s, Attorney General Carr, Commissioners King and Harper. You can access these updates at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAHvnLKZ6RsXp8vTgpiXA4tnG0diFGnIz or https://www.facebook.com/georgiachamber/. We should start releasing those mid-morning. They’ll also be available on other platforms.
In order to provide FEMA and our partners with better insights and an understanding of the true impact of the storm on businesses, please complete this short survey as soon as you can. This information will be kept confidential unless there are specific asks that you have of us. We are also working on identifying resources that may be available specifically for chambers of commerce that are impacted, so that’s why some of the questions are about your operations, and others about your community and members. Similar versions of this survey are being issued in Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TFP2TBM.
One piece of advice: for those of you providing critical services during the recovery I encourage you to save all receipts for potential reimbursement. Also, if you’re doing that work, you should ask your local emergency manager to sign an agreement clearly showing your work so that it’s easier for you to qualify for Federal support later.”
