It is not a requirement to obtain a business license to do business in Mississippi unless a corporation will be operating under another corporation’s name. Persons interested in doing business in Mississippi are provided with a guide from Mississippi’s Office of Purchasing, Travelling and Fleet Management. The guide provides individuals with a brief description of the available bids and contracts available for purchase, as well as commodity type. The guide also acts as a question and answer booklet for various Mississippi related business questions.

Mississippi does not facilitate centralized purchasing; each agency and/ or institution of the state is required to have their own office for purchases. Each purchase is required to go in accordance with the purchasing statute of the state.

Mississippi Contracts

Where commodities are a part of a competitive bid contract, it is mandatory that state agencies purchase these commodities from the contract vendor, except for cases where approval is given from The Purchasing, Travel, and Fleet Management Office. Commodities which are a part of a negotiated contract may be purchased from contract vendors. The negotiated contract price must not be surpassed. Commodities that do not fall under a contract must go through a statuary bid procedure.

Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi

Hurricane katrina ’s winds and storm rush forward the Mississippi coastline on the afternoon of August 28, 2005, beginning a two-day path of devastation through central Mississippi; by 10 a.m. CDT on August 29, 2005, the eye of Katrina began traveling up the entire state, only slowing from hurricane-force winds at Meridian near 7 p.m. and entering Tennessee as a tropical storm. Many coastal towns of Mississippi (and Louisiana) had already been obliterate, in a single night. Hurricane katrina -force winds reached coastal Mississippi by 2 a.m. and lasted over 17 hours, spawning 11 tornadoes (51 in other states and a 28-foot (9 m) storm surge flooding 6-12 miles (10-19 km) inland. Many, unable to abandon, survived by climbing to attics or rooftops. Afterward, over 235 people died in Mississippi, and all counties in Mississippi were affirmed disaster areas, 49 for full federal support.

More than one million people in Mississippi were affected, and almost 6 months later, the extent of the destruction in Mississippi was still described as “staggering” in USA Today on February 16, 2006: “The Mississippi Gulf Coast has been devastated.

The extent of the devastation in Mississippi is also staggering. Since Katrina hit, more than half a million people in Mississippi have applied for assistance from FEMA. In a state of just 2.9 million residents, that means more than one in six Mississippians have sought help. More than 97,000 people are still living in FEMA trailers and mobile homes. Another 5,000 to 6,000 are still waiting for FEMA trailers. Almost six months later, many neighborhoods are still piled high with storm debris” (reported February 2006).  Read more...

Hazwoper 40-Hour Course Right On Time For Mississippi River Cleanup 2011

Comments: 0March 19th, 2012 by
mississippi rising

What can be said about the weather in the world today that has not already been massively blanketed by all the news agencies all over the world? The real reasons for all this bad weather and natural disasters may never be known to man, at least, not in our lifetimes, but may be discovered long after our bones are dry and brittle under ground. While that may seem like an ominous and dark way to kick things off for this Hazwoper 40-Hour Course write-up, it is only in the effort of garnering as much attention as possible to the domestic flooding issues happening in our country today.

Old Man River

The Old Man River keeps rolling right along. This is an all too common melody being hummed rather unhappily by the residents of Missouri all the way down to new Orleans, Louisiana. The Show Me State has been flooded so badly and with the Missouri River swelling to unprecedented levels, the residents of not a few towns along these mighty rivers, but the entire state of Missouri are under Federal Disaster Protection and Control.

Need for Thousands of OSHA Trained Workers and Volunteers

With so much going on in the Mississippi River areas of the nation and with all of the Hazwoper 40 Hour Course factors being placed upon the heads and hearts of millions of Americans along this mighty tributary, the need for thousands of OSHA and Hazwoper trained workers and volunteers has never been greater.  Read more...

The Great Mississippi River

mississippi rising

The Mississippi River is one of the most popular rivers in the United States. The river’s length is 3,770 kilometers making it the 2nd longest river in the country. The river begins at the Lake Itasca part of Minnesota up to the Gulf of Mexico.

The history of the Mississippi River was traced back over 300,000 years ago. It was the Illinois glaciers which have barred the River close to Rock Islands that caused it to divert to its existing route, and stretching towards the western borders of Illinois.

A change in the route of the Mississippi River was caused by earthquakes next to the fault zone of New Madrid which sits at the center of St. Louis and Memphis. The three major earthquakes which happened during the year 1811 and 1812 have caused the temporary reversal of the river. The Reverie settlement located in Tennessee was stopped from the Tipton County and was diverted to the area of the Arkansas River.

The earthquakes have also led to the formation of the Reelfoot Lake.

Later on, the lower part of the Mississippi River have naturally diverted to its ending path to the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico. This phenomenon occurred because river’s channel was blocked with deposits of mud. The water level rose as a result.

It passes through ten major states of the United States and serves as boundaries for these states.  Read more...
