Georgia Activates State Ops, Declares Emergency Ahead of Winter Storm Fern

Gov. Brian Kemp declared a statewide State of Emergency and activated the State Operations Center ahead of Winter Storm Fern, with the order running through January 29, 2026.

Residents are urged to prepare, monitor forecasts, and rely on GEMA/HS and Ready Georgia updates for guidance and warming center information.
