SUMMARY: Residents in the Pine Belt area are advised to document any damage to their property using the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency's self-reporting tool on their website. This tool requires selecting the county and filling out a form, which helps Mima gather information for damage assessments. It is important to note that the tool is not an application for financial assistance, but it assists in providing accurate reports of damage in the area.

SUMMARY: Gordon's Creek in Hattisburg is set to undergo significant improvements to boost ecotourism with a grant of over $2 million from the Mississippi outdoor stewardship trust fund. The project will include an 8ft pathway and pedestrian bridge connecting the Gordon's Creek linear trail with other nearby parks, an outdoor classroom, and picturesque views of the Leaf River. The goal is to change the perception of Gordon's Creek and the Leaf River from merely bodies of water to valuable assets that attract more visitors. Hattisburg's project received the most funding in this round of grants, with the hope for construction to begin next year.

Hattiesburg Mayor Toby Barker announced a significant grant from the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund (MOSTF).
