State officials plan update on severe winter weather response
State officials invited residents to an update on severe winter weather affecting Mississippi and the state9s response, according to a Facebook post asking people to “join us for an update.”
The social media post did not provide additional details about timing, location or format of the briefing. Officials have not yet released formal statements or an agenda connected to the announcement.
Winter storms in Mississippi can produce freezing rain, sleet and occasional snow that create hazardous travel conditions, power outages and disruptions to schools and public services. Updates from state emergency management and transportation officials typically cover road conditions, shelter availability, power restoration efforts and safety guidance for residents.
Residents should monitor official state channels, local media and emergency alerts for verified information and instructions. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
