• Call or text 988 — Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (24/7)
• Georgia Crisis & Access Line (GCAL): 1-800-715-4225
• Find local mental health, food, housing, and support services:

• For immediate danger, call 911

You are not alone. Support saves lives.

We often share preparedness messages hoping you’ll never need them.

But when emergencies happen, and you do need them, you don’t want to realize you weren’t ready.

Preparedness isn’t about panic or hoarding.
It’s about planning ahead and taking only what you need, so supplies remain available for everyone.

Build a reasonable 72-hour emergency kit.
Have a plan for your household.
Stay informed through trusted sources.

Buying responsibly helps prevent shortages, reduces stress, and supports your community.

Because it’s always better to be prepared and not need it
than to need it and not have it.
