Although several counties in Georgia were evacuated due to Hurricane Dorian, certain licensed healthcare professionals are exempted from the evacuation orders. Some healthcare professional licensing boards, such as the Georgia Board of Nursing, also allow temporary exemptions for out-of-state practitioners to practice under the supervision of an in-stat licensed practitioner during a disaster or emergency. The out-of-state practitioner's credentials must be verified within 15 days.
