Governor Reeves is sending the National Guard into the hardest-hit areas in north Mississippi after last weekend’s ice storm…
“We will deploy, at least initially, up to 500 members of the Mississippi National Guard with the expectation that it is possible that those numbers will go up…”
Forward support units and aviation assets will be taking part in the deployment which should be fully operational by Wednesday morning.
The governor says 48 counties have reported damage from the icy weather. 61 shelters and warming centers will be open in 30 counties…
“As we look to the future, we know that we have a lot of work ahead of us…”
