Governor Reeves announced Wednesday October 28, 2020, that he signed an emergency declaration ahead of Hurricane Zeta.
Reeves tweeted “I’ve signed an emergency declaration in advance of Hurricane Zeta. Watch the weather. Be prepared. Emergency operators are working to get ready for storm surge and hard winds—up to 9 feet of surge and winds up to 100 MPH. Stay sharp, stay safe, and pray for God’s protection.”
Under the requested federal emergency declaration, FEMA would be authorized to provide emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, under the Public Assistance program thirteen Mississippi counties: Clarke, Jones, Wayne, Lamar, Forrest, Perry, Greene, Pearl River, Stone, George, Hancock, Harrison and Jackson.
More counties could be added to this declaration based on the impacts of the hurricane.
