As residents continue to recover after tornadoes in March 2023 left portions of Mississippi devastated, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is hosting a housing and preparedness summit on Saturday, Sept. 21.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mississippi Christian Family Services in Rolling Fork, survivors will receive help with homeownership and housing information, home loan applications, credit repair, homelessness prevention, and foreclosure prevention.

“The summit will be a great opportunity for community members to meet with FEMA and other agencies who can assist them with their long-term recovery efforts,” FEMA federal disaster recovery officer Gloria Lewis said.

Other summit highlights include safety preparedness information such as making a plan and what to include in go-kits ahead of future storms.

“We also will be teaching survivors how to document and insure their property, establish a family communications plan, and how to partner with their organizations,” Lewis added.

The summit is open to all survivors and members of the public. If special accommodations are needed, requests can be made to Lewis by emailing gloria.lewis@fema.dhs.gov. Mississippi Christian Family Services is located at 394 Pine Street in Rolling Fork.
