Hurricane season officially begins today, June 1, and runs through November 30. While we all hope for a quiet season, now is the time to prepare—not when a storm is approaching. South Carolina emergency officials encourage residents to build a plan, know their evacuation zone, review emergency supplies, and stay informed throughout the season.
Port Royal residents are encouraged to take a few simple steps today:
• Review your emergency plan
• Check and update your disaster supply kit
• Know your evacuation zone and routes
• Sign up for emergency alerts
• Stay connected to trusted weather and emergency sources
Remember: it only takes one storm to make a season memorable. Take a few minutes now to prepare your family, pets, and property.
