The operation of emergency shelters is a massive undertaking, utilizing a regional planning concept. In the event that a tropical storm or hurricane approaches Horry County, Baseline Sheltering Operations, listed below, will be implemented.
Baseline Sheltering Operations
During Baseline Sheltering Operations, Horry County Schools will be prepared to handle individuals requesting public shelter. Shelters will be opened at a specified time. Which shelters open and when will be determined in conjunction with the start of the coastal evacuation.
In the event a hurricane is rated a Category 2 or higher (winds 96-110 mph), Horry County will not open any shelters due to the expected wind loads on the buildings identified for sheltering. Shelters in counties inland from Horry County should be utilized in such events.
