After Georgia’s Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) completed disaster assessments across the state, Governor Brian Kemp formally requested the President declare a major disaster in the State of Georgia. Following the State of Georgia’s formal request, Congresswoman Lucy McBath (GA-07), Senator Jon Ossoff, Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock, Congressman Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (GA-01), Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02), Congressman Drew Ferguson (GA-03), Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04), Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05), Congressman Rich McCormick (GA-06), Congressman Austin Scott (GA-08), Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09), Congressman Mike Collins (GA-10), Congressman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11), Congressman Rick Allen (GA-12), Congressman David Scott (GA-13), and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) urged President Biden to quickly approve the State of Georgia’s request, which would provide a range of important Federal assistance programs in the counties impacted by Hurricane Helene, including funds for both impacted individuals and public infrastructure. “We write to convey full support for Governor Brian Kemp’s request for an expedited major disaster declaration for the counties in the State of Georgia significantly impacted by Hurricane Helene,” Georgia’s Congressional Delegation wrote to President Biden. “We encourage your team to promptly consider Governor Kemp’s request for a major disaster declaration, and we stand ready to work with you and your Administration to support these critical recover efforts in Georgia.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
