Georgia's challenges with natural disasters and their effects on communities have gained the attention of the Senate Natural Resources and Environment Subcommittee. They are now focusing on disaster mitigation and resilience. The newly appointed subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Lee Anderson (R–Grovetown), will hold its first meeting in Newnan, a city that has experienced severe weather.
Scheduled for next Monday at 9:00 a.m., the gathering will take place at Newnan High School, inviting both public attendance and virtual onlookers, as confirmed by an announcement on the Georgia General Assembly website. Here, the groundwork is expected to be established to create a path forward amid ongoing environmental challenges.
The subcommittee includes experienced members, such as Senators Jason Anavitarte (R–Dallas) and Matt Brass (R–Newnan). Along with Frank Ginn (R–Danielsville) and Majority Leader Steve Gooch (R–Dahlonega), they are responsible for guiding the state's resource management policies in an uncertain climate.
Media representatives interested in covering the discussions and decisions are encouraged to reach out to Jantz Womack at [email protected]. This provides an opportunity to observe, report, and hold accountable those responsible for protecting Georgia's communities from natural disasters.
