FEMA announced that federal disaster assistance is available to the state of Mississippi to supplement recovery efforts in the areas affected by Tropical Storm Arthur from June 18-20, 2026. The President’s action makes federal funding available to affected individuals in Hancock, Harrison, Pearl River and Stone counties. If you use a relay service, such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service or others, provide FEMA the number for that service. Craig Levy, Sr. has been named the Federal Coordinating Officer for federal recovery operations in the affected areas. Additional designations may be made at a later date if warranted by the results of damage assessments.
