With the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season officially beginning on June 1, Entergy Mississippi is encouraging customers to take proactive steps to prepare for more severe weather and potential power outages. The season follows a stormy two weeks in the company’s service area, where consecutive weather events caused repeated outages. Beginning Sunday, May 19 through Wednesday, May 28, crews restored power to more than 86,000 storm related outages.

Entergy has deployed more than 1,000 employees and contract workers to help restore power in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The storm made landfall on Florida’s northern coast before leaving a trail of destruction from Georgia to the Carolinas.

Hurricane Beryl making landfall early in the season reminded us we must remain ready for anything. With experts continuing to forecast above average activity and the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season occurring from late August through September, take the time now to review your preparedness plans.
