Mississippi to mark Hurricane Katrina Remembrance Day

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Governor Tate Reeves (R-Miss.) proclaimed Friday, August 29, 2025, as Hurricane Katrina Remembrance Day in Mississippi.

The governor called for a statewide minute of silence beginning at 8:29 a.m. on Friday. The statewide minute of silence is in memory of the lives lost, a recognition of the resilience of Mississippi communities, and a reflection on the journey of recovery and hope.

“In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Mississippians demonstrated a spirit that cannot be broken, a core strength that survives all hurt, a faith in God that no storm can take away and an unyielding determination to clear the wreckage and build back our communities better than they were before,” said Reeves.

On Friday, August 29, 2025, Reeves, in coordination with the Mississippi National Guard and other partnering state agencies, will host the 20th Anniversary Commemoration of Hurricane Katrina.

The ceremony will commemorate Hurricane Katrina’s landfall on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and remember the lives lost and the pain endured by the citizens of our great state.
