SUMMARY: As people evacuate ahead of the storm, important safety information has been shared. The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MOT) is preparing for potential flash flooding and debris by fueling vehicles, sharpening saws, and cleaning storm drains. While preparations are widespread, the central and southwestern regions are particularly at risk, especially along Highway 90 in Harrison County due to forecasted storm surges. Travelers are urged to avoid flooded roadways and remember the advice, “turn around, don’t drown.” Additionally, drawbridges along the coast will close for marine traffic by 6 p.m. to enhance safety during the storm.

For those choosing to evacuate ahead of the storm, there are some things you need to know before hitting the road.
