Today's report: Curfew begins at 11 tonight

Mayor Andrew "FoFo" Gilich has announced Biloxi will implement a curfew from 11 tonight until 6 Saturday morning, relaxing the 8 p.m. curfew since more businesses are re-opening as more power is being restored across the city.

In fact, Mississippi Power announced this afternoon that power restoration efforts will continue through the weekend, and 95 percent of its customers would have power restored by Monday.

The curfew, garbage and debris updates, and a host of other information are included in today's Be Prepared report, which ends with a collection of video clips from Hurricane Zeta, before, during and after.

The report also includes the latest on the coronavirus: 749 new cases of the coronavirus statewide and 29 new cases in Harrison County. Forty people are hospitalized with the virus on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Get your storm debris to the curb, Biloxi

By the middle of next week, the city will begin the process to remove the estimated 200,000 cubic yards of debris left in Zeta's wake.

However, now is your time to be hauling storm debris out to the curbside. City contractors cannot come onto private property. The city is asking you to haul debris to the curbside, and make sure it's not near any power poles, guy wires, gas meters or your mailbox.

The city's debris contractor, Crowder Gulf, will have as many as a dozen crews working seven days a week, from daylight to dark, beginning Thursday.

No bagging:Typically, the city asks that lawn clippings be bagged, but in the case of storm debris, please do not bag storm debris. The storm debris contractor needs it to be visible and unbagged. If you've already bagged it, leave it there and it will be picked up by Pelican. But as you move more to the curb this weekend, no bags, please.
