Will the winds blow in South Carolina?

South Carolina’s Emergency Management Division is getting ready.  The state agency is monitoring Tropical Storm Erika, which forecasters expect to strengthen into a hurricane.  As a result of the storm’s projected movement up the east coast, key local and state agencies have been notified to respond if the need arises.  South Carolinians and visitors in potentially vulnerable areas should review their plans and consider actions to take if the storm threatens the Palmetto state.
