National Public Health Week: Emergency Preparedness [Video]

Unexpected events such as power outages and natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes can occur without a moment’s notice. That’s why being prepared for emergencies is crucial. Emergency preparedness involves planning, having supplies on hand, and knowing how to stay safe during an emergency. Being ready for crises before they happen can not only protect you and your loved ones but also underserved communities where disasters can exacerbate existing inequities. Join us as we speak to Malary White from The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and Candace Coleman from Entergy Mississippi as we discuss emergency preparedness.
