Mississippi citizens lose valuable resources including life and property due to disasters.
Disasters can strike at anytime and anywhere.
Generally, Mississippi's weather-related emergencies are in the form of floods, thunderstorms, tornadoes, windstorms, lighting and hurricanes, all of which have the potential for property loss, injury and death. The Mississippi State University Extension Service understands the importance of preparedness and mitigation to lessen the impact disasters have on people and property. Extension also understands the importance of having sound information that will aid the recovery process. In cooperation with the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, and Federal Emergency Management Agency through USDA, the MSU Extension Service's goal is to provide relevant research-based information that will better aid Mississippians during emergencies and disasters.
