Emergency Services would like to give a huge shoutout and thank you to the Knights of Columbus (KofC) SC State Council for their generous donation of $1000 toward the Noah's Box program. This will go a long way helping us restock our sticker inventory so we can get even more distributed. It will help responders with early identification and allow them to adjust their responses appropriately.

September is National Preparedness Month.
This is your reminder that “I’ll do it later” is not a plan.
