Health officials ask Mississippians to prepare for upcoming cold snap
SUMMARY: Mississippi is bracing for extreme cold, with single-digit temperatures in the north and teens in central and southern areas. The state health department advises residents to prepare for power outages, frozen pipes, icy roads, and potential health risks. People should stock up on non-perishable food and have bottled or treated water available. In case of power outages, a half-full freezer keeps food for 24 hours, while a full one preserves it for 48 hours. To prevent pipe damage, leave faucets dripping. Health officials warn against hypothermia and frostbite, suggesting staying indoors and avoiding alcohol or caffeine. Travel is discouraged, but if necessary, follow warnings and be cautious. Home safety tips include not using generators or grills indoors and keeping the garage door shut if warming up a car inside. For more information, MSDH provides additional winter weather preparedness tips online.
