A Facebook video invites residents to join another update on severe winter weather impacting Mississippi and the state’s response, the post says.
Officials frequently use social media to share information quickly during severe weather events, including updates on travel conditions, service interruptions and available resources. Severe winter storms in the South can bring freezing rain, sleet and snow that create hazardous roads, downed trees and power outages, particularly in areas less accustomed to icy conditions.
State and local agencies typically coordinate through emergency management offices to monitor conditions, support highway and utility crews, and provide information about shelters and public safety measures. Residents are encouraged to monitor official channels for guidance on travel, school or business closures and safety precautions.
The video offers another opportunity for officials to brief the public on evolving conditions and response efforts. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
