Pick up a 2018 SC Hurricane Guide

Hurricane season is upon us, and now is the time to get your official 2018 South Carolina Hurricane Guide. The 2018 guide, recently released by the South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) and partner agencies, provides residents useful information about what they should do before, during and after the landfall of a major hurricane. This year’s guide has updated sections that include new evacuation zones, tips on preparing for an evacuation, ways to stay connected during an emergency and steps to keep in mind when returning home after a major storm. Beginning today, June 1, the 2018 guide is available at all South Carolina Welcome Centers, at any Walgreens store statewide and at select South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles offices.
