Berkeley County issues 2023 hurricane guidance

Berkeley County Government has published its Hurricane Guide for the 2023 Storm Season.

Published by Berkeley County Emergency Management Department and the Berkeley County Public Information Office, its release coordinates with the first-ever Hurricane Preparedness Month, as designated by the S.C. Emergency Management Division.

Berkeley County is one of the fastest growing counties in South Carolina; and with the Atlantic Hurricane Season beginning June 1, it wants to make sure our communities are informed about potential storm impacts to the area and how to properly prepare. The Hurricane Guide specifically includes information on hurricane risks, a checklist for building a disaster supplies kit, evacuation routes, the County’s Citizen Call Line, making your home weather ready, and more.

The guide is available in both English and Spanish. It’s also available for the first time in Portuguese for the County’s growing Brazilian population. All three translations of the guide can be accessed digitally on the County’s homepage.

The guide also is available in the front lobby of the Berkeley County Administration Building at 1003 N. Highway 52, Moncks Corner; and all Berkeley County Public Library branches. Copies will also be distributed to schools throughout the county, homeowners’ associations, community meetings, and other locations around the county.

The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs June 1 to Nov. 30.
