National Hurricane Preparedness Week
This week was South Carolina Emergency Management Division’s (SCEMD) Hurricane Preparedness Week. SCEMD has updated the South Carolina Hurricane Guide which is available for download. This guide covers about everything yo need to know about preparing yourself for a weather emergency, and steps to take and contact information in the case of an event!

SCEMD has also produced the SC Emergency Manager App for iPhone and Android. The app allows you to create Your Personal Emergency Plan, identify your hurricane evacuation zone, get the latest information on South Carolina State office closings and delays, and includes valuable information on planning and preparing for emergency and recovering afterwards.

Crier emails
We are making an effort to send out these informational emails around the first of every month to keep neighbors up do date on neighborhood events, and other events and information of interest. It's cheaper and better for the environment not to print and pass out fliers! But we could all probably use the exercise!

If you have information of interest to the neighborhood, please pass it along and we may include it in a future Crier.

Tell your friends and neighbors to subscribe. No membership required, but of course we would like everybody to join! New neighbor? Let us know and we'll send out the welcome wagon.

To subscribe, email membership@sherwoodforestneighbors.org or subscribe online
