Georgians have a new resource at their fingertips when they need information about a disaster or emergency, Governor Sonny Perdue announced today. Developed at the Governor’s request, the newly launched Georgia911.org serves as a gateway to information regarding response and recovery activities, providing real-time information and a comprehensive list of available assistance during an emergency or disaster. The mission of Georgia911.org is to provide timely, accurate information to the public during an emergency or disaster. For more information please visit georgia911.org.

The site is divided into six major sections: Contact Info, Emergencies and Threats, News and Events, Latest Emergency Info, Resources, and How Do I. Each section is clearly displayed and visitors can find anything they may need in less than three clicks. This information portal will provide real-time weather, traffic, evacuation, shelter and threat-level status reports during an active disaster or emergency.
