Mississippi Valley State Moves Toward FEMA Disaster-Resistant Certification
Written by HBCU Digest, Posted in Mississippi, Mississippi Valley State University
The Associated Press today reports that Mississippi Valley State University will tonight sign a mitigation agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency that will draw the school closer to being designated as a disaster-resistant campus. The school is expected to pledge changes to its campus lighting to enable easier escape routes during an emergency.
The announcement comes five years after MVSU was among several Mississippi colleges and universities to receive a campus emergency siren system.
