"With this expedited major disaster declaration, federal assistance can now be accessed by some of the most impacted communities. I urge all who have been affected to apply. Our recovery process will take time and patience, and Robin and I are continuing to pray for the families who have lost loved ones and all of our communities that were impacted by this heartbreaking disaster." The Governor's request which was approved today includes: Individual and Public Assistance for Bulloch, Burke, Candler, Columbia, Effingham*, Emanuel, Evans, Glascock, Jefferson, Jenkins, Johnson, Laurens, Lincoln, McDuffie, Montgomery, Richmond, Screven, Tattnall, Toombs, Treutlen, Washington, and Wheeler Counties. *Counties not originally included in the Major Disaster Designation but have since been added. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
