South Carolina will conduct its annual hurricane awareness week from
may 26 to June 1. This year hurricane weather awareness week is
sponsored by the National Weather Service and the South Carolina
emergency management division. This annual event gives south
carolinians an opportunity to educate themselves or review their
knowledge of weather hazards associated with hurricanes and safety
rules.

Hurricane season begins on June 1st and continues through November
30th. It is important that all residents become familiar with
hurricane safety procedures because hurricanes pose a serious threat
to inland and coastal areas alike. High winds, tornadoes, and flood
producing rains can occur from the immediate coast to hundreds of
miles inland as they did during hurricanes Hugo in 1989 and Frances
in 2004.

It is best to formulate a hurricane safety plan long before a
hurricane actually threatens your community. We will begin
discussing those safety plans, hurricane features, and associated
weather hazards beginning the Monday of our hurricane awareness week.
