- Description:
- Tornado relief workers. Relief workers assist the injured after the tornado of 1936. In the aftermath of the tornado, first aid stations and hospitals were set up across Gainesville to provide emergency care for the rapidly escalating number of injured, who were stabilized and later transported to hospitals in Atlanta. Doctors and nurses from Atlanta, Athens, Lawrenceville, and other nearby cities rushed to Gainesville to assist injured storm victims at these essential medical facilities.
