U.S. President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in Mississippi on Sunday, after the outbreak of a fatal tornado. At least 26 people died during this powerful tornado that sweeps several regions of the state.
The declaration of a state of emergency paves the way for federal funding to provide assistance to devastated regions, including the construction of temporary housing. The number of victims could increase after rescue operations.
Rescuers continued their operations on Sunday following the tornadoes and storms that swept the Mississippi and Alabama.
The National Weather Service’s Storm Predictive Center warned that there was a risk of destructive winds, hail and possible tornadoes on Sunday in parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama.
Early Sunday, parts of west-central Georgia reported damage caused by a tornado.
