Atlanta — With expectations of the extremely powerful Hurricane Irma to impact south Florida, the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA) is working with all state, federal and industry partners to support the safety and comfort of Georgia citizens, their animals and Florida neighbors fleeing the storm.
To assist those evacuating with animals, GDA has temporarily suspended Animal Interstate Movement Health Requirements for entry into Georgia for the transportation of animals from areas expected to be impacted by Hurricane Irma in Florida. The suspension of entry requirements applies to animals entering Georgia from Florida only. For more information regarding the suspended requirements. . .
