Prepare before the storm

It is important that our citizens, business owners and visitors are ready for any possible storms. In this new post series, you'll find helpful information about hurricanes and how to prepare now!

Know Your Zone... Ahead of any storm threat, residents and business owners are encouraged to "Know Your Zone." South Carolina Emergency Management Division's Know Your Zone tool allows users to learn what evacuation zone they are located with...in.

If you are inside the city limits of Myrtle Beach, you are live or work in Zones A, B or C. To use the Know Your Zone map, simply enter your address or the address of a desired location. Users can zoom in and out of the map. The map's legend located in the upper right corner of the map shows what evacuation area. See https://www.scemd.org/prepare/know-your-zone/.
