SUMMARY: As hurricane season approaches, Mississippi’s Emergency Preparedness Week highlights the importance of early preparation. Local businesses, like True Value on Pass Road, are stocking up on essential supplies such as plywood, batteries, flashlights, and non-perishable food. It’s time to build hurricane kits, including important documents in waterproof containers, and consider family needs like baby and pet supplies. Residents are urged to plan ahead to avoid last-minute scrambles. Emergency officials recommend having enough supplies to last 3 to 7 days. Preparedness now can ensure readiness for the hurricane season starting June 1st.

While the storms aren’t here yet, local businesses say now is the time to get serious about being prepared.
