MEMA to open disaster recovery centers and assistance sites after Jan. ice storm

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) said it will open six Disaster Recovery Centers and seven Disaster Survivor Assistance sites at noon Monday, April 27, to serve residents who suffered damage during the Jan. 23-27 winter ice storm (DR-4899-MS).

MEMA said the Disaster Survivor Assistance sites are expected to operate for about one week at each location. The agency said the Disaster Recovery Centers will remain open for an extended period depending on foot traffic.

MEMA said it will open additional Disaster Survivor Assistance sites in the coming weeks to provide more residents in the impacted counties with face-to-face support.
