Mississippi emergency agency posts photos on Facebook

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency posted photos on its official Facebook page, the agency said in the post.

Further details about the images were not available from the agency’s Facebook post. The post included photos but did not provide additional explanatory information on the agency’s social feed.

MEMA is the state agency responsible for coordinating Mississippi’s response to natural disasters and other emergencies and for providing preparedness guidance to residents. The agency routinely uses social media to share updates, shelter information and safety guidance during events such as hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes.

Photos shared by emergency management agencies can offer situational awareness to the public and help officials communicate conditions and response actions quickly. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
