Officials from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife and Fish and the Department of Homeland Security are assisting local law enforcement personnel in patrolling all access points to the county's nine casino properties. "As of now, only those essential gaming industry personnel along with emergency management officials will be allowed to cross the Mississippi River levee." "With the Mississippi River now expected to crest at 48 feet in Memphis, we have secured all casino properties and assets and are preparing the area the impending flood waters," said Tunica County Emergency Coordinator Chief Randy Stewart.
