At the time of this publication, it looks as though the Charleston area may escape the direct path of Hurricane Joaquin; however, we will experience tremendous rainfall in the next few days.  Please take this time to review your emergency preparedness plans with family members (resources below) and let the Town know if you need special assistance in an emergency evacuation event.  As usual, please visit the Town's website regularly for other current news and information.
