More Harrison County details 

The press release, which includes information about shelters remaining open tonight, evacuation orders rescinded and city and county offices opening Monday:

Effective at 6 p.m., the Harrison County Board of Supervisors, on the recommendation of its Emergency Management Agency, and in consultation with emergency managers in all five cities within the county, has lifted the county-wide curfew. Concurrently, all evacuation orders for Harrison County have been rescinded.

Shelter occupants will be allowed to return home tonight if they desire. However, if an occupant's home is inaccessible due to damage or flooding, or they feel it is unsafe to return, they will be allowed to remain in the shelter tonight.

Motorists are encouraged to exercise extreme caution when traveling, as there may be debris or standing water on the roadways. Some traffic signals on Highway 90 may be programmed in the flashing mode, and could cause confusion.

All county and city offices will be open for business Monday. Employees should report for duty as scheduled.

The Emergency Operations Center will remain open as long are there are any storm warnings.
