The Disaster Relief and Resilience Act (SC Code §48-62-10 et. seq.) states that the Strategic Statewide Resilience and Risk Reduction Plan shall serve as a framework to guide state investment in planning, projects, programs, and policies to protect the people and property of South Carolina from the damage and destruction of extreme weather events.

SCOR recognizes that coordinating and obtaining grant funds will further resilience efforts statewide and locally. To that end, the Plan includes a strategy for providing resources, technical assistance, and other support to local government for resilience efforts.

SCOR’s goal is to obtain funding to implement statewide resilience and also support other state agencies, local and regional governments, communities, tribal nations, traditional communities, and nonprofits in obtaining funding to create a more resilient South Carolina.
