A Mississippi official said in a Facebook post that they will hold another press conference at 4 p.m. to discuss a severe winter storm and the state’s response. The post invited the public to “tune in live here on Facebook,” providing a digital option to follow updates.
Officials often use such briefings to update residents on conditions that affect safety and travel, including road closures, power outages and the status of emergency shelters. Timely briefings can help communities prepare and respond as conditions change.
State agencies including emergency management and transportation departments commonly coordinate in severe winter weather to clear roads, restore utilities and provide public information. Local governments and utility providers also play roles in restoring services and assisting vulnerable residents.
Residents are advised to monitor official channels for the latest information and to follow safety guidance from local authorities. Those relying on live updates can watch the Facebook broadcast announced in the post.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
