ATLANTA — Voluntary agencies working with flood survivors in Georgia need donations to help with relief work. While cash is always preferred and allows organizations to purchase the exact items they need, many organizations also need product donations.

Current needs posted on Georgia’s National Donations Management Network portal includes:

• Cleaning supplies, including bleach
• Sheetrock
• Protective Clothing
• Goggles
• Baby diapers (sizes 1-6)

Product donations are logged into a database which matches needs with availability. This system accelerates getting donations to those who need them, and helps donors target the items that are most needed.

Businesses or individuals interested in donating cash, donating to a need or helping in another way can log on to Georgia’s National Donations Management Network portal by visiting the GEMA Web site: www.gema.ga.gov and clicking on “Georgia’s Donation Portal” under the “Featured Issues.”
FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
