Mississippi Damage Prevention Council is Hosting a 8.11K Run/Walk on April 12 to Promote Importance of Calling 811 before Digging to Avoid Buried Utilities

Proceeds will benefit Mississippi Damage Prevention Council, a-Non Profit organization helping make Mississippi a safer place to live and work. 

WHAT:     Mississippi Damage Prevention Council will host the 811 Run, an 8.11-kilometer run/walk at Atmos Energy in Flowood on Saturday, April 12, to remind all Mississippi residents to call 811 2 Working Days before digging, regardless of the size of the project.
