Devastating storms tore through the Deep South on Friday night, killing at least 23 people in Mississippi.

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said in a Twitter post that search and rescue teams from local and state agencies were deployed to help victims impacted by the tornadoes. The agency confirmed early Saturday that 23 people had died, four were missing and dozens were injured.

“My city is gone. But we are resilient and we are going to come back strong,” Eldridge Walker, the mayor of the rural Mississippi town Rolling Fork, told CNN.

To help people and communities impacted by the storm, the American Red Cross is currently on the ground and accepting donations.

The organization has shelters open today at the National Guard Armory in Rolling Fork; Humphreys County Multipurpose Building in Belzoni; and Old Armory National Guard building in Armory.

The Mississippi Department of Public Safety also announced they are partnering with the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MSEMA) and the state’s department of agriculture to accept donations of bottled water, canned goods and paper products for the victims of the storms.

The agencies are setting up a donation site at the Armory at the Fairgrounds in Jackson. They will be accepting donations between 1:30 and 5 p.m. today. The Rolling Fork Civic Center is also open to receive donations.

Volunteer Mississippi is asking private citizens not to self-deploy into impacted areas, according to MSEMA.

“They will work to match unaffiliated volunteers with affiliated groups on the ground when the time is right,” the state agency tweeted.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said today that President Joe Biden assured him that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would be there to help with recovery efforts.

“The flood of support from governors, businesses, charities, and federal admin has been tremendous — matches the community here on the ground,” Reeves tweeted.
