On Sunday, August 4, Governor Henry McMaster issued Executive Order 2024-16, declaring a State of Emergency in preparation for the potential effects of Hurricane Debby, and asked South Carolinians to monitor local forecasts and to begin taking proper precautions. The executive order activates the South Carolina Emergency Operations Plan and enables all state agencies to coordinate resources in preparation for Hurricane Debby.

SC Emergency Manager
The official app of SCEMD; it is designed for users to build their own emergency plans, to keep track of supplies, and to stay connected to loved ones. In addition, coastal residents can now “Know Your Zone” instantly using the maps feature as well as locate the nearest emergency shelters when they are open. The tools section features a flashlight, locator whistle and the ability to report damage to emergency officials. The SC Emergency Manager can function without the need of a data connection, which is useful when basic utilities are offline.
SC residents can report storm damage directly to SCEMD through the Emergency Manager App. Do not call 9-1-1 to report utility outages, property damage, or other non-life threatening situations.
