Hurricanes and Tropical Storms

 

South Carolina is one of the most vulnerable states in the nation to be impacted by hurricanes and tropical storms. Of the state's 46 counties, 6 have coastlines, which border the Atlantic Ocean. These counties have over 200 miles of general coastline and all inland counties may be directly affected by these storms. Therefore, Spartanburg County Emergency Management prepares for the high winds, tornadoes, and inland flooding often associated with these storms when they move inland.  To learn more about hurricanes and how you can prepare, check out the links below.
