As the calendar turns to June 1, our coastal Carolina communities enter a familiar and deeply impactful time of year. Tomorrow marks the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, a six-month period that demands our collective vigilance, preparation, and resilience.
Whether you live on the coast of the Carolinas or inland, hurricane season can and will affect us all, making it a shared reality for everyone who calls Brunswick, Columbus, and Horry counties home. We know all too well that living in this beautiful region means respecting the power of the Atlantic and the unpredictable nature of tropical weather, regardless of how many miles separate our doorsteps from the ocean.
Preparation is not merely about tracking lines on a map; it is about safeguarding our families, our properties, and the unique communities we have built along our shared coastal corridors. From our inland municipal centers to the front lines of our beaches, readiness requires a proactive approach long before the first storm system organizes at sea. It means reviewing family emergency plans, securing property, understanding local evacuation routes, and checking in on neighbors who may need an extra hand when conditions deteriorate.
