SUMMARY: Federal disaster aid has been approved for Walthall County residents following the March 14 tornadoes, providing both public and individual assistance. Cleanup crews began work promptly after Friday’s approval, tackling over 300,000 tons of debris from county roads. Supervisor Roger Jen emphasized the massive effort needed and the relief this aid brings to residents struggling to rebuild. The process is expected to take about three months. The Board of Supervisors announced that a FEMA Information and Assistance (MIMA) center will open Wednesday at the Walthall County EMA office to help with Small Business Administration loans. FEMA’s arrival date remains unknown.

Understanding crypto currency
SUMMARY: Cryptocurrency is a digital currency unlike traditional dollar bills, which are regulated and tracked by the Federal Reserve with serial numbers. Bitcoin, a leading cryptocurrency, operates on a decentralized system tracked by users, not the government. It’s stored in digital wallets secured by PINs or recovery phrases, and if these are lost, access to the funds is gone permanently. Cryptocurrency values fluctuate like foreign exchange rates, so investing in it carries risk, and people should only invest money they can afford to lose. Consulting experts and doing thorough research is crucial before investing or transacting in cryptocurrencies.
