About

Who We Are

The SC Office of Resilience exists to increase resilience to disasters and reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of loss of life, injury, damage to and loss of property, and suffering and hardship, by lessening the impact of future disasters.

Vision

We envision a South Carolina where the risks of adverse impacts from extreme weather events are significantly reduced, empowering citizens and communities to withstand and recover from disasters.

Mission

We lessen the impact of disasters on the communities and citizens of South Carolina by planning and coordinating statewide resilience, long term recovery and hazard mitigation.

South Carolina Disaster Relief and Resilience Act

The South Carolina Disaster Relief and Resilience Act (SC Code ยง48-62-10) mandates the development of a Strategic Statewide Resilience and Risk Reduction Plan (Resilience Plan) and also creates two funds: the Disaster Relief and Resilience Reserve Fund (Reserve Fund) and the South Carolina Resilience Revolving Fund (Revolving Fund). The Act authorizes the South Carolina Office of Resilience (SCOR) to develop and implement the Resilience Plan, to operate both funds, and to coordinate statewide disaster recovery efforts while collaborating with federal, state, and local stakeholders.
