SUMMARY: Some residents in Moss Point, Mississippi have received letters from FEMA regarding federal assistance, causing confusion as the area has not yet been declared a federal disaster area. Governor Tate Reeves and President Joe Biden have not made this declaration yet. The city and Mima are in the process of completing the necessary steps for the declaration, but it has not been finalized. The deadline for requesting assistance is July 20th. The letters from FEMA are legitimate, but residents may have applied too quickly before the declaration was made. If the area is declared a natural disaster, residents may need to reapply for assistance.
