SUMMARY: Emergency officials are urging people to use Hurricane Preparedness Week to get ready for the upcoming hurricane season, even though it is still four weeks away. Mississippi Emergency Management Agency's executive director is meeting with local emergency leaders and private partners to strategize for potential storms. They are focusing on forecasting models to predict response strategies and working on evacuation plans, including new hurricane evacuation zones. The 2024 hurricane season is expected to be more active than usual, so it is important to always be prepared for potential storms.
