Phase 1: Immediate Response
Missouri
On March 15, multiple heavy tornadoes struck down in Missouri. These extreme storms took the lives of many and caused severe destructions across many communities. The GEM team responded immediately to Bakersfield and surrounding communities, and are on the ground now. We are working alongside local officials to reach those most affected and will continue supporting all those affected throughout this heavy storm period. From GEM’s Florida headquarters, critical aid supplies were dispatched to the region, and aid and cash card distributions are presently taking place.
