Mississippi receives public assistance for winter storm recovery

Officials are addressing questions from residents about aid following the winter weather storm in January. Mississippi has been approved for public assistance, which supports local governments, according to state officials.

Requests for individual assistance, which would help homeowners, are still under review. No decision has been made yet on that aid program, the officials said.

Public assistance aims to help local governments recover from storm damages, while individual assistance provides direct help to residents affected by disasters. The review process for individual aid is ongoing, and officials did not specify when a decision might be made.
