The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has installed its first emergency power generator in New Albany, Mississippi, in coordination with FEMA and MEMA, to support communities impacted by the January 2026 winter storm.

The installation took place at a warming shelter and emergency services facility shortly after midnight. USACE crews are operating from Camp McCain in Grenada, Mississippi, where a generator staging base has been established for ongoing emergency power missions across the state.

Additional generator installations are planned as directed by MEMA and FEMA. This effort is part of a broader USACE response to restore power and ensure public safety in affected areas.
