U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 878th Engineer Battalion, 648th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, Georgia Army National Guard, conduct road clearing in residential areas across Evans, Georgia Sept. 30, 2024. Several residents said that Hurricane Helene brought some of the worst storm impacts they ever recall seeing in their city. Nearly 1,600 Georgia National Guardsmen are actively responding across Southern Georgia in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Our teams are clearing downed trees from primary and secondary roads, while assisting FEMA and Georgia Emergency Management at point-of-distribution centers to ensure critical supplies reach affected communities.
