“Disaster Response Program: The most basic needs health, water, shelter, sanitation, livelihoods, safety, education, and others become both scarce and dire in the event of a disaster. We believe that safe, reliable shelter provides the foundation from which all of these things can begin to reemerge during the relief and rebuilding process. With the help of volunteers and donors, we are able to provide shelter assistance, education, training, and partnerships to affected individuals who find themselves in unthinkable situations after a disaster strikes. Habitat for Humanity Georgetown County is currently working with VOAD/COAD which includes several local and state-level organizations and municipalities ready to react during and post-disaster. Georgetown County sits along the coast of South Carolina and is prone to tropical storms and hurricanes. According to South Carolina Emergency Management Division, from 1851 to 2021, 44 tropical cyclones made landfall along the South Carolina coastline. The Atlantic Hurricane season begins on June 1st and ends on November 30th, which is when most of the storms impact our coast. Each year, theres a 79.7% chance of being impacted by a tropical system, according to SCEMD. In a 170-year period from 1851 to 2021, 260 tropical systems have impacted the Palmetto State, so it is imperative to have a Disaster Recovery Plan for our area. In the past 7 years, Georgetown County has been affected by several tropical storms and a Historic 1,000 Year Flood in 2015. Most recently, Hurricane Ian impacted Georgetown County in September 2022.”
