South Carolina Residents Encouraged to Know Their Hurricane Evacuation Zones
US · Published Jun 5, 2026
The South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) is urging residents and visitors to familiarize themselves with hurricane evacuation zones and their vulnerability to storm surges.
The 'Know Your Zone' initiative provides an interactive map that allows users to input their address to determine their evacuation zone.

Why It's Important?

Hurricane season poses significant risks, including storm surges, flooding, and wind damage. Residents in coastal areas are particularly vulnerable and may face mandatory evacuation orders. Understanding evacuation zones and storm surge risks can help residents make informed decisions and reduce the likelihood of injury or property damage. Failure to evacuate when required could result in life-threatening situations.
