The Mississippi USAR Task Force expressed gratitude for the support from local departments, elected officials, MEMA, DPS, and MOHS, which has been instrumental in facilitating these missions and enhancing preparedness for future responses. Special thanks were also extended to Shane at Applied Technology Group, Jeff at Goodyear in Valdosta, GA, and Chad at SC EMA. These local businesses provided crucial support without obligation, highlighting the importance of local community engagement.

The deployment underscored two key lessons: the enduring presence of compassionate individuals and the significant impact of storms on affected lives, regardless of their scale.
