Bibb County anchored by Macon is the regional hub for central Georgia emergency coordination. The Ocmulgee River creates flooding risk. Robins Air Force Base just south in Houston County is the largest single employer in Georgia employing over 23000 people and serving as the Air Force's primary logistics and maintenance center for the eastern US. Macon's position at the geographic center of Georgia makes it a critical logistics hub.
