The image shows a map of the border of Florida and Georgia. A line draws from the Atlantic Ocean and goes North, following the trajectory of Hurricane Helene. Circles indicate facilities in EPA’s 2022 Toxic Release Inventory within Helene’s impact zone. Those in red are the zone’s largest in terms of total annual hazardous materials that they release.
