The South Carolina Emergency Management Division runs a specifically named hurricane evacuation campaign, Know Your Zone, alongside a general-purpose mobile app for preparedness and real-time updates during an emergency.
Why Know Your Zone matters specifically here
Given South Carolina’s direct hurricane exposure, this campaign is built around a genuinely practical action: identifying your specific coastal evacuation zone and route in advance, rather than waiting to figure it out during an actual storm.
Where to find it: scemd.org/prepare; the SC Emergency Manager app is available for iPhone and Android.
