MEMA opens disaster recovery centers for storm relief
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has opened 12 disaster recovery centers to assist residents affected by the March tornado outbreak. Partnering with FEMA and the Small Business Administration, these centers offer various federal aid programs, including individual and housing assistance, with grants up to around \$43,600.

FEMA has already provided nearly \$3 million in aid, but damage estimates exceed \$18 million, far surpassing federal thresholds. Centers operate in Covington, Jefferson Davis, Marion, Smith, Walthall, and Montgomery counties. Visit ms.mema.org for details.
