DNR and Governor: Please No Flood Sightseeing

Department of Natural Resources logo

Officials are prepositioning for flooding in Charleston, Georgetown, Williamsburg, and Dorchester Counties. New shelters will open in those areas, and residents should be prepared to evacuate if instructed to do so by local officials. Governor Haley says the Department of Natural Resources will patrol the affected areas rigorously to keep people safe and make sure no one is left behind in evacuated neighborhoods. So far DNR has done more than 800 water rescues, and the Governor urges residents not to “sightsee” in flooded areas as DNR is still working to rescue people.
