Dear Friend,

The end of this month marks 18 years since Hurricane Katrina hit our shores. This hurricane season, Mississippi is more prepared and so are our citizens. Please take a moment to review the information provided in this email and be sure to have an updated plan for preparation, evacuation, and communication in the event of a hurricane. 

In the event of a hurricane, I will share important information from state and federal emergency management organizations. I encourage you to subscribe to my newsletter and follow me on social media to receive disaster updates. I also provide other important information about legislation in Washington, D.C., and news from Mississippi’s Third Congressional District. You can subscribe to my newsletter by answering the question below. I also encourage you to follow the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency’s (MEMA) Twitter page and the National Hurricane Center’s Twitter page for real-time updates.
