A Facebook post said a press conference will be held at 4 p.m. to update the public on a severe winter storm and Mississippi’s response. The post said viewers can watch the briefing live on Facebook.
The post did not identify who would speak or provide additional details. State and local officials commonly hold such briefings during significant weather events to announce emergency measures, travel advisories, road closures and coordination with utility and relief agencies.
Severe winter storms can create hazardous travel, power outages and risks to heating and shelter, particularly for vulnerable residents. Agencies such as the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency and local governments typically coordinate response and recovery efforts, including opening shelters and directing road crews and utility crews.
Mississippi residents are advised to monitor local media and official social channels for real-time instructions. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
