Mississippi has declared a state of emergency after heavy flooding damaged a water treatment plant in the state capital of Jackson. The city is reportedly running out of water rapidly, as most residents are not able to use functioning toilets, showers, sinks, and so forth.
Governor Tate Reeves declared the emergency on the 29th.
The state is marshaling tremendous resources to protect the people of our capital city. It will take time for that to come to fruition. But we are here in times of crisis, for anyone in the state who needs it. That’s my responsibility as governor, and it is what everyone in my administration is committed to ensuring.
Reeves stated
Today President Biden approved Mississippi’s state of emergency, allowing FEMA ‘to identify, mobilize, and provide, at its discretion, equipment, and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency,’ WLBT wrote.
The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security [and the] Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in Hinds County.
According to a press release from the White House
‘The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) will take the lead to distribute drinking water and non-potable water in the city,’ WJTV reported.
A detailed list of water giveaways were announced today.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, who has been given charge to directly handle this problem, stated,
You are going to experience a fluctuation in water pressure while work is being done on the O.B. Curtis Water Treatment Plant. This could mean no water at times.
High Impact Flix compiled and edited together of slew of different clips of the media talking about the seriousness of the problem, with one reporter saying the people of Jackson “are just trying to survive.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
As most of the country is idolizing and praying to a football right now, an entire city of people are struggling to get fresh and clean water to drink, and do other very basic things that we all take for granted, and forget that it can be stripped away in a moment.
[15] Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. [16] Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. [17] Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.Proverbs 5:15-17
The Mississippi situation demonstrates why being reliant upon the grid and state municipalities are a bad and troublesome thing, to put it moderately. I am not looking down upon anyone who does use the local and city water supply for different things, but it is my hope this situation teaches you to be prepared, and try to have measures in place if in the event this happens to you, or does not happen again.
A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Proverbs 22:3
Take heed: when the economy and system in this country finally breaks apart, all of these things we take for granted will evaporate in a moment’s time. And, because of that, the elites know this. Therefore, it will be much easier for them to corral the masses into doing and accepting what they want to get installed: vaccine passports, social credit scores, food IDs, carbon calculators, smart meters, etc.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
