Citizens of Pike County,

We apologize for the late post, but we have been extremely busy over the past weekend responding to severe storms and rising floodwaters across our county. I am thankful to report that everyone was rescued safely, and there have been no reported injuries.

I want to personally thank the citizens of Pike County who stepped up without hesitation to help their neighbors during this time of need. Your willingness to lend a hand truly shows what kind of community we live in.

I would also like to recognize and thank Ms. Tina Reed, our Emergency Management Director, for putting in countless hours to keep our county informed and safe.

A special thank you goes to Pike County Supervisor Jake Gazzo and the rest of the Pike County Board of Supervisors for their support throughout this emergency.

Thank you to the McComb Fire Department, all of our county volunteer fire departments, and their strike team for working tirelessly during these dangerous conditions.

I want to give a very special shout-out to Sheriff Jason Ard of the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Department.

It is important for the public to understand how the Parish/County Line Task Force works together to support one another in times of crisis. Later in the day, much of our volunteer fire department equipment began failing due to overuse. We reached out to Sheriff Ard, and within hours he sent boats and his team. Their equipment and personnel were absolutely crucial in rescuing citizens during the night hours in both Pike County and Walthall County.

I am extremely thankful for Sheriff Ard and his team. This is what happens when agencies work together with one goal in mind—making sure everyone is taken care of.

Pike County is a proud member of the Parish/County Line Task Force, and we will continue to be a member of that task force as long as Sheriff Jones has a say.

Once again, thank you to everyone who showed up, stepped up, and helped during this emergency. My hat’s off to each and every one of you.

Thank you, and God bless.
— Sheriff Wally Jones
