PEARL, Miss. - Gov. Tate Reeves pledged Aug. 30 that Mississippi will help victims of Hurricane Idalia.
“Mississippi stands ready to help our friends in Florida,” Reeves said on social media. “(Aug. 29) was the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and we still remember well how states across the country stepped up to help us. Mississippians are ready to do the same.”
Forklifts were on the move Aug. 30 at the Salvation Army warehouse in Jackson. Workers were scurrying to load containers with vital cleaning supplies onto an 18-wheeler headed for victims in the path of Hurricane Idalia.
The Salvation Army is sending 20 response workers to a staging area in Dothan, Ala., ready to move into Florida as the storm leaves the region. (The WAPT 08/30/23) ‘Mississippi stands ready to help our friends in Florida,' governor says (wapt.com)
