Mississippi’s congressional delegation have requested President Joe Biden approve Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves’ request for federal major disaster declarations to recover from severe storms across the state in March. The damage from the storms has strained emergency response resources and capabilities. More than 150 homes were damaged or destroyed, and there was $2M-plus in property damage reported. If approved, the disaster declaration would unlock additional federal resources to supplement state recovery efforts. On March 22, there were 27 tornadoes across four counties, and 30 tornadoes across eight counties on March 30. Winds topped 100 mph and damaged or destroyed over 150 homes, according to the delegation. (Source: Meridian Star 05/07/22)
