U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves praised first responders and state agencies for their coordination during the Winter Storm Fern response. DHS began pre-storm collaboration with Mississippi, accelerating resource delivery and service restoration. Following a January 24 federal disaster declaration, DHS deployed personnel to the state emergency operations center to support coordination. The department provided 90 generators and 49 trailer loads of supplies, including meals, water, tarps, oxygen canisters, and blankets, to critical facilities and affected communities. Officials emphasized continued coordination with state leaders to address needs. Individuals seeking assistance are urged to contact local emergency management offices or volunteer agencies.
