At their peaks 56 people were staying at the Forrest County Shelter and 18 were at the Lamar County Shelter in Purvis.

"We're offering disaster relief services. We're offering mental health and health services. We're doing client case work.We're staffing our Disaster Recovery Centers, and we're helping people register with FEMA," said Cheryl Kocurek, Asst. Dir. Direct Services for the operation.
