SC officials urging residents to prepare for start of hurricane season
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – As the Atlantic hurricane season approaches, officials in South Carolina are encouraging residents to get their supplies and plans in order, in case the state is impacted by storms again this year.
Gov. Henry McMaster has proclaimed this week South Carolina Hurricane Preparedness Week.

Those should include reviewing insurance policies and discussing what could happen during a major storm.
