Richland County Flood Update/Community Meeting

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

We know that many of you have unanswered questions on where we go from here.  In an effort to help answer these questions and to allay your concerns, Senator Joel Lourie and I, in conjunction with the Governor’s Office, SCEMD, SCDOT, DHEC, SCDNR, SCDOI, and FEMA Disaster Survivor Assistance Team, will be holding a Community Meeting this Tuesday, October 13, at 6:00 pm at Forest Lake Presbyterian Church.   We invite everyone in the community to attend.  Please see details below.

In the meantime, a good resource to review is Help After a Disaster Booklet available at http://www.fema.gov/help-after-disaster .

Please remember to stay safe and be careful. #FamouslyStrong  #SCStrong
