SUMMARY: The city of Moss Point in Mississippi has set aside $2 million to cover recovery costs from a tornado that hit in mid-June. The funds will be used for debris pickup and cleaning services. The city will temporarily cover the costs until they receive confirmation from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) whether the damages meet the threshold for a federal declaration. So far, 18 percent of debris has been collected, and the FEMA will be visiting Moss Point to assess the damages. MEMA is working towards receiving emergency declaration status for the entire state.
