Mississippi Declares Emergency for Tropical Storm Arthur | Jackson News

Mississippi braces for another federal disaster declaration as Tropical Storm Arthur wreaks havoc — the state’s third this year.

Governor Tate Reeves thanks the federal government for stepping in, promising Mississippi will stand by its communities until full recovery. Residents in approved counties can access direct aid or public assistance grants — apply online, by phone, or via the FEMA app. Help is on the way.
