SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi has requested Individual Assistance from FEMA for six counties impacted by severe storms in April 2024. The counties include Hancock, Hinds, Humphreys, Madison, Neshoba, and Scott. The request comes after the validation of the number of homes destroyed or severely damaged in each county. If approved, Individual Assistance can provide grants for housing and repairs, low-cost loans for property losses, and other programs for recovery. Mississippi must meet FEMA requirements for approval. The declaration is meant to help residents restore, rebuild, and recover from the effects of the disaster.
