The Atlantic hurricane season that runs from June 1st to November 30th is now 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.

This year’s program will feature a variety of subject area experts on three panels, including:
​

• An evacuation has been ordered… Now What?
• Communication is Key: Public Information Before, During & After a Disaster
• Other Hazards: Flooding, King Tides & Earthquakes

Valuable prizes will be raffled off throughout the event, and one lucky winner will receive the grand prize of an Amazon Echo! 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 more than a dozen emergency management agencies.
