03/21/2025

Company commits $25k to impacted counties

In response to the recent tornadoes that devastated several counties in Entergy Mississippi’s service area, the company is committing $25,000 to providing critical relief to families and individuals hit by the storms.

The donation, which is made possible by Entergy shareholders, is going to the American Red Cross, which has quickly mobilized to address the immediate needs of residents recovering from the disaster. The donation will provide warm meals, safe shelter, and relief supplies to those in need.

“We’ve taken on the responsibility of serving our communities past providing electricity. This weather event has devastated some families, and we hope this donation will help them at the beginning of this hard road towards recovery,” said Haley Fisackerly, president and CEO.

Each year, Entergy proactively awards grants to disaster relief organizations such as the American Red Cross so that when disaster strikes, they can respond immediately in one of Entergy's service areas, ensuring that families impacted by the storm receive the assistance they require.

Of the counties that were impacted by the March 15 weather event, multiple are served by Entergy Mississippi, including Grenada, Issaquena, Sharkey, Walthall, Smith, Sunflower, Rankin, Madison, Copiah, and Carroll counties.

In the wake of the tornadoes, more than 860 workers, including lineworkers, tree trimmers, contractors, and support personnel were engaged in getting power restored to the 9,200 Entergy Mississippi customers who lost power. They restored a vast majority of the impacted customers by Sunday, and all customers who could safely receive power by Wednesday.
