Advice from the Committee

Videotape, or take digital photos of your home, interior and exterior, room by room. Be thorough. Include videos/photos of any valuable china, crystal, silver, fine arts, antiques etc. Keep the video in a safe, waterproof place or in your "evacuation box" with other valuable papers. Update your video records periodically. This is evidence for your insurance company as to what your home, and contents looked like before any damage was done. The video may be used to support your "proof of loss" in the event of a claim, especially if you no longer have receipts for these items. It will also aid you in completing a realistic inventory of your household effects. The preparations you make BEFORE an incident will help expedite your recovery after the incident.

When Evacuating

If residents evacuate prior to an emergency like a hurricane, they should ensure their home is secure, and any furniture, outdoor equipment, etc are brought inside or securely fastened so they cannot become airborne during high winds and cause damage to your home or your neighbors.

Our designated evacuation route is to travel west on SC642 (Dorchester Road) to Old Orangeburg Road (Secondary 22) to Route 78.   If the Governor orders our Zone E to evacuate, residents must follow designated routes once the evacuation period has started.   If you wish to use a different travel route, you should plan on leaving the area prior to a mandatory evacuation order.
