Hurricane Helene caused nearly every business in the Augusta area to temporarily shut down. While lack of resources has been a major anxiety among residents, Augusta Mayor Garnett Johnson reassured people during a press conference Sunday that there’s plenty of food, water, and gas, they just need to get businesses turned back on and reopened.
So what’s available? Below is a list of restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets and other stores open in the area.
This list is based on a combination of social media chatter and first-hand reporting by Augusta Chronicle staff. It will be updated regularly, so stay tuned.
