Hurricane Preparedness Week underway in Mississippi

Governor Tate Reeves has declared May 4-10 Hurricane Preparedness for Mississippi in preparation of the upcoming 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. 

One hurricane, category two Francine, directly impacted the state during the 2024 season. But a total of 18 named storms and 11 hurricanes made up what was a busy season in the Atlantic. Five of those storms intensified into major hurricanes. 

According to the National Weather Service, 2024 was a busier year than average. Early forecasts point to 2025 being another season packed with severe weather. 

In his proclamation, Reeves noted the importance of Mississippians being prepared ahead of the potentially dangerous stretch. He also highlighted the upcoming benchmark of remembrance for the worst storm to ever strike the state in 2005. 

“The upcoming hurricane season marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which serves as a reminder about the significant challenges our state can face from powerful storms,” Reeves said. “I encourage all residents to take proactive steps in preparation for the upcoming hurricane season. Being prepared can make all the difference in ensuring your safety and minimizing damage.” 

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) will use the week to educate residents on how to properly prepare your loved ones and home to weather intense storms.  

Recommendations include having a fully stocked disaster supply kit with necessities like water, non-perishable food, flashlights, and batteries. MEMA also encourages homeowners to conduct an insurance check before hurricane season and purchasing flood insurance if their home is in an area susceptible to flooding. 

During Hurricane Preparedness Week, MEMA will highlight the following topics each day on their official social media accounts: 

  • May 4 – Know Your Risk: Wind & Water 
  • May 5 – Prepare Before Hurricane Season 
  • May 6 – Understand Forecast Information 
  • May 7 – Get Moving When a Storm Threatens 
  • May 8 – Stay Protected During Storms 
  • May 9 – Use Caution After Storms 
  • May 10 – Take Action Today 

The official Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November 30. 

You can view MEMA’s full hurricane preparedness guide here.
