Gov. Henry McMaster (R) issued Executive Order 2024-16, declaring a State of Emergency in preparation for the potential effects of Tropical Storm Debby. Tropical Storm Debby is expected to produce rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with maximum amounts of 30 inches, across portions of coastal South Carolina through Friday morning. This potentially historic rainfall may result in areas of catastrophic flooding. For power outages and shelter information, visit the S.C. Emergency Business Resources Dashboard. If your business sustains any damage during the storm, please be prepared to notify ESF-24 with as much detail as possible. ESF-24 will provide updates when assistance becomes available or business recovery centers open.
