Updated October 13, 2026. Alerts this feed carried for another state's road were removed.

How we got these numbers: These are unique alerts published by Mississippi's department of transportation (DOT) feed, from a daily copy taken Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, 2026. Each alert is counted once. An alert posted and removed between two daily copies is not counted. States publish different things, so compare a state with its own earlier months, not with other states. 4 alerts this feed carried for roads in Louisiana were removed. Those states' own feeds carry them. Fire figures are as of Sept. 30, 4 PM Pacific.
