2021 South Carolina Hurricane Season

September 01, 2021

The 2021 Hurricane season is from June 1st, 2021 through November 30th, 2021. Please see below for links and information on emergency preparedness presented by the SC Emergency Management Division, City of Charleston, and Berkeley County.

SC Emergency Management Division:

The S.C. Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) has released the official 2021 South Carolina Hurricane Guide. SCEMD and partner agencies have updated the Guide for the 2021 hurricane season. It details useful information on what residents should do before, during, and after the landfall of a major hurricane. You can download the 2021 guide HERE.

The South Carolina Hurricane Guide is updated annually by SCEMD in collaboration with local and state partners of the S.C. Emergency Response Team. All information contained in the Guide is valid at the time of publishing each year but is subject to change depending on actual storm conditions.

Sections of the guide include watches and warnings, tips on insurance, tips on preparing for an evacuation with pets, your zone, basic disaster supplies to have, and steps to keep in mind when returning home after a major storm.

SCEMD, county emergency managers, and the National Weather Service urge citizens to take time now to prepare for major emergencies like hurricanes by reviewing their family emergency plans, developing a disaster supplies kit, and talking with family members about what could happen during a crisis.

The SCEMD website is a helpful tool and has numerous links to help you prepare for all sorts of disasters that could occur. You can view their website HERE.

City of Charleston:

Some useful links include the latest FEMA Flood Maps, information on flood zone types, what to do before a flood, and more. This information may be useful to residents should a flood occur.
