SUMMARY: Gulfport is preparing to assist its sister city, Gulfport, Florida, which was severely affected by Hurricane Idalia. Mayor Billy Hughes emphasized the importance of helping small communities often overlooked after disasters. Previously supported after Hurricane Katrina, Gulfport aims to “pay it forward” through initiatives like “One Coast One Recovery.” Residents can donate essential supplies such as water, cleaning items, and canned goods at local fire departments. The city will communicate ongoing needs via its website and social media, facilitating continuous support efforts, including potential cooking crews for rescue workers and residents.

SUMMARY: A potential strike could shut down 36 ports nationwide, including in South Mississippi, if the International Longshoremen Association and the US Maritime Alliance do not finalize a new contract by 11:00 PM tonight. The union demands better wages and assurances against full automation at shipping terminals. Despite the looming strike, Port Pasula Director Bo Ethridge stated that the port is well-prepared to continue operations due to its unique structure, which employs both union and non-union labor, and expects minimal to no disruption in daily activities.
