Greenville County faces ongoing threats from hurricanes and wildfires, prompting coordinated preparedness efforts between local agencies and retailers. Recently, the county’s emergency management officials partnered with Walmart to host a Hurricane Preparedness Open House, guiding residents on building disaster supply kits and emphasizing the importance of self-sufficiency during emergency situations.
Key Takeaways:
- A disaster supply kit can help households remain self-sufficient for several days after a disaster.
- Community events and partnerships, such as those between emergency managers and Walmart, increase public awareness and readiness.
- Staying informed through official alert systems and using non-emergency numbers helps reduce strain on emergency services.
