Are you curious how SCDPS trains and prepares for responses to hurricanes in South Carolina? Each year, our agency works with the South Carolina Department of Transportation and other state and local agencies to ensure a quick response to safely and efficiently move coastal residents and visitors inland in the event of an evacuation.
