The 2014 Hurricane Season began June 1 and will run through November 30. While Meteorologists have declared 2014 a light season for the Southeast, that is by no means an excuse to be unprepared. With 6 counties bordering the Atlantic Ocean, South Carolina is one of nation’s most vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical storms.
Knowing how to prepare for a hurricane saves lives. If an evacuation order is issued, please heed the warning. No home, boat, or hurricane party is worth your life, or the life of your loved ones. Pay close attention to warnings; listen to the radio and watch your local TV stations for weather alerts. Have a plan and follow it.
If you do have to evacuate, make sure to alert at least one member of your family, or a close friend of your travel plans. If possible, stay with family or friends living closer inland, instead of going to a shelter. Fill your gas tank prior to the evacuation order, take important papers, as well as cash (in the event ATMs are down due to power outage), a gallon or two of water, and some nonperishable food with you in the event of lenthy evacuation times due to heavy traffic.
Above all, please be safe.
