As we continue working together as a state to help our affected communities get back on their feet, we are also supporting our neighbors who are finding comfort and safety in Georgia during this devastating time. While resources are limited in areas south of Atlanta, much of the state is open for business and ready to be enjoyed. If you have upcoming plans to travel to or within Georgia, please check this page for helpful information and resources.
