SCEMD

South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) and FEMA are working towards releasing an updated Hurricane Evacuation Study in 2024 that will detail data on hurricane-related hazards and behaviors, vulnerability, shelters and transportation. By completing the survey, residents are prompted with questions to better prepare them for future hurricane seasons.

Earthquake.SC is a virtual companion to SCEMD’s main website, scemd.org, the SC Emergency Manager mobile app (which has earthquake notifications users can activate) and the printed South Carolina Earthquake Guide.
