Jennings County Commissioners have changed the travel Advisory level to Red Warning Level for Jennings County.
The highest level of local travel advisory means that travel may be restricted to emergency services, essential and emergency management workers only. During a "warning" local travel advisory, individuals are directed to:

• Refrain from all travel.
• Comply with necessary emergency measures.
• Cooperate with public officials and disaster services forces in executing emergency operations plans; and
• Obey and comply with the lawful directions of properly identified officers.
