South Carolina Emergency Managment

12/21/2020 (Permalink)

Winter is upon us here in South Carolina (finally…) while we’re not likely to see snowfall in numbers like our friends up north, there are still winter weather precautions we should take! Ice, sleet and hail are the biggest concerns we have during winter weather months. These create driving hazards, safety hazards and can make getting the things we need quite difficult.

Preparing for winter weather starts with making yourself aware of changes and weather events to come. The South Carolina Emergency Management Division has created an app downloadable from the Apple App Store as well as Google Play Store. The SC Emergency Manager app and Severe Winter Weather Guide is designed for users to build their own emergency plans, keep tack of supplies and to stay connected to loved ones. The app also allows users to view open emergency shelters in the event one is needed. This app provides a long list of features designed specifically for the needs of South Carolina residents during all types of emergencies, a great asset to add to your app library!
