PART 6: Prepare Mississippi 2024, First Alert Hurricane Special
SUMMARY: Start building your emergency supply kit gradually with essentials you might already possess, such as flashlights, batteries, important documents, water, and non-perishable food. When shopping, buy an extra regularly used item each time. Hurricane Katrina highlighted that planning doesn’t always originate from the hurricane’s direct path but can be managed from locations like Franken County, 165 miles inland. Effective communication during Katrina was challenging, leading to innovative changes. Mississippi and MIMA (Mississippi Emergency Management Agency) are now prepared for various disasters, emphasizing inclusion, such as having a disabilities integration advisor. Always assess evacuation needs and consider local shelters only as a last resort.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is prepared to respond to not only hurricanes, but also to other severe storms that threaten our state.
