MEMA is the state agency responsible for coordinating disaster preparedness, response and recovery in Mississippi. It routinely uses social media to share guidance, shelter information, road closures and safety recommendations during severe weather, floods and other emergencies.
Public agencies increasingly rely on platforms such as Facebook to reach residents quickly, particularly in fast-moving situations where traditional media and emergency alert systems may not be sufficient. Officials often encourage residents to follow official accounts, sign up for local emergency alerts and confirm evacuation or shelter plans in advance.
Details of the specific Facebook post were not provided in the source material. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
