Mississippi Rapid Response Coalition is a coalition of community organizations with a mission to provide rapid relief to communities in crisis in Mississippi.
The Jackson Municipal Airport Authority (JMAA) has also partnered with the City of Jackson to provide water to the Jackson community at Hawkins Field Airport on Tuesday, Aug. 30 and Sept. 13 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 558 W. Ramp St.
Non-potable water, for cleaning, flushing:
The City of Jackson has brought in tankers to distribute non-potable water to residents in need. Residents are asked to bring a container – such as a garbage can or cooler – to store the water. The tankers are located at Forest Hill High School at 2607 Raymond Road and at the MetroCenter at 3645 Highway 80.
Non-potable water is not of drinking quality, but may still be used for other purposes, such as flushing toilets, washing clothes and cleaning.

SUMMARY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump met with European leaders at the White House to discuss potential three-party peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. Trump expressed support for NATO-like security guarantees for Ukraine but stopped short of committing U.S. troops. Zelenskyy showed openness to talks, emphasizing the need for lasting peace and a strong Ukrainian army. European leaders seek durable security assurances and pressure on Russia to cease fighting. Discussions followed Trump’s recent meeting with Putin, who reportedly demands control of the entire Donbas, a condition Zelenskyy rejects as unconstitutional.
