Alcorn County disaster service center closes Wednesday

The Disaster Service Center serving Alcorn County at the Northeast Community Center, 2759 South Harper Road, will be closed Wednesday, May 27, 2026, a notice posted on Facebook said.

Disaster Service Centers typically provide information, recovery resources and support to residents affected by emergencies and natural disasters. Such centers often act as a local point of contact for federal, state and county assistance programs following severe weather or other events.

The closure may affect residents who planned to visit the center for assistance, information or to file paperwork. Residents are advised to check official county channels or social media for updates and for information about alternative locations or services that may be available.

Details in the Facebook notice were limited. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
