Santee-Lynches Regional Council of Governments Hazard Mitigation Plan 2025-2030
The Santee-Lynches Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2025-2030 outlines a five-year strategy for Kershaw, Lee, Sumter, and Clarendon counties and their municipalities to prepare for and mitigate natural hazards. The plan provides an analysis of major natural hazards, such as floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes, affecting the region, and details specific actions local jurisdictions can implement, including emergency response planning, critical infrastructure inspections, and emergency communications. A primary objective is to maintain local governments' eligibility for federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) funding to support disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts.
