An official in Mississippi posted on Facebook that they will hold a press conference at 4 p.m. to discuss a severe winter storm and the state’s response. The post invited residents to “Tune in live here on Facebook,” the social media message said.
The announcement comes as state and local authorities monitor winter weather that can produce hazardous driving conditions, downed trees and power outages. Severe winter storms can strain emergency services and disrupt travel, utilities and daily life across affected areas.
State emergency agencies such as the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency typically coordinate response efforts, including road clearance, sheltering and restoration of services. A public briefing allows officials to provide situational updates, safety guidance and information about resource deployment.
Details about what will be announced at the 4 p.m. briefing were not included in the Facebook post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
