Seabrook Island Club Clubhouse (Atlantic Room)
3772 Seabrook Island Road, Seabrook Island, SC 29455

The Atlantic hurricane season that runs from June 1st to November 30th is almost underway! South Carolina is one of the most vulnerable states in the nation to be impacted by hurricanes, so emergency preparedness is especially important for residents of barrier island communities.

Please plan to attend the Disaster Awareness Day on Thurs. May 29, 2025 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Seabrook Island Club Clubhouse (Atlantic Room). The event is co-sponsored by the Town of Seabrook Island and the Town of Kiawah Island.

We have an exciting lineup of speakers to help you prepare for any disaster that could come our way.

The featured guest speaker will be Dana Souza, City Manager for Sanibel Island, FL. Dana will speak about how Hurricane Ian decimated Sanibel Island in 2022 and how the island continues to recover today. He will have impactful stories to share about how a major hurricane can affect a community.

The new director for Charleston County Emergency Management
Department (CCEMD), Justin Pierce, will speak as well as Chief Ryan Kunizter (STJFD). Both will provide information about the support each department offers to Charleston County during a disaster.

Chief Meteorologist Bill Walsh from Live 5 News will emcee the event.


Valuable prizes will be raffled off throughout the event! A FREE lunch will be provided to attendees at 12:00 pm following the conclusion of the program. No RSVP is required.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get a crash course on emergency preparedness and learn helpful tips on how to protect your family and your property. Disaster Awareness Day is also a great opportunity for residents to speak with representatives from emergency management agencies.

Winter Weather Advisory #4

1/23/2025

 
Up to four inches of snow and sleet were reported across the Charleston region Tuesday night and into Wednesday. While precipitation has moved out of our area, bitter cold temperatures are expected to persist Thursday night. These conditions will cause partially melted snow and ice to refreeze tonight, creating areas of black ice that will make travel extremely dangerous into the morning hours, especially along secondary roads. Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve. 

Crews from the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and Charleston County Public Works are working around the clock to clear roadways. Additional crews are en route from the upstate to assist with road clearing operations. At this time, major highways including I-26, I-526 and U.S. Highway 17 are generally clear, but many secondary roads are still covered with snow and ice. St. John's Fire Department crews say Main Road and River Roads remain mostly ice and hazardous to travel. SCDOT and County are working through their clearing/salting plan which includes Johns and Wadmalaw Islands. On Friday, temperatures are expected to be above freezing by the late morning, but will drop back down below freezing Friday night into Saturday. Additional refreezing is expected. 

Due to the threat of hazardous travel conditions, Seabrook Island Town Hall will remain closed on Friday and members of town staff will be working remotely. 

The Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA) Administrative Office and Lake House will be closed on Friday.

Charleston County offices will also remain closed on Friday. This includes the Charleston County Judicial Center, Bees Ferry Landfill and all Charleston County Public Library branches.

Unless there are any significant changes in conditions, this will be the final advisory issued for the winter storm. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS

  • Dial 911 for emergencies. Emergency calls to 911 should be reserved for life-threatening situations, or for the reporting of a crime or fire.
  • Avoid unnecessary travel. Residents are encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm as roads and bridges may be dangerous.

While precipitation has moved out of our area, bitter cold temperatures are expected to persist. The National Weather Service (NWS) is forecasting near record low temperatures with dangerous wind chills tonight.

Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve. 

Crews from the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) and Charleston County Public Works are working around the clock to clear roadways.

At this time, major highways including I-26, I-526 and U.S. Highway 17 are generally clear, but many secondary roads and bridges are still covered with snow and ice. Temperatures are expected to rise above freezing during the day on Thursday before dropping back into the 20’s Thursday night into Friday morning. 

Due to the threat of hazardous travel conditions, Seabrook Island Town Hall will remain closed on Thursday and members of town staff will be working remotely.
