Dear Friend,
The end of this month marks 15 years since Hurricane Katrina hit our shores. This hurricane season, Mississippi is more prepared and so are our citizens.
Please take a moment to review the information provided in this email and be sure to have an updated plan for evacuation, communication, and preparation
in the event of a hurricane. The presence of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in your area may require changes to your plans, so it’s important to update
your family response plan in accordance with certain limitations imposed by the COVID-19 restrictions. Please visit ready.gov/plan for tips.
In the event of a hurricane, I will share important information from state and federal emergency management organizations.
