BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–The Berkeley County Emergency Operations Center is now partially staffed, as Berkeley County is now at OPCON 4 in anticipation of Tropical Storm Hermine.
Starting tomorrow morning at 8AM, Berkeley County will have Citizen Advisory Hotlines available for residents to seek updated information from the Berkeley County Emergency Preparedness Department. To reach these hotlines, please call either 843-719-4800, 843-719-4166 or 843-719-4047. In the case of an emergency, please call 911; do not call the hotline numbers.
The Berkeley County Landfill will operate only until 2PM tomorrow. All other county government buildings, including the Courthouse, will be closed the entire day tomorrow.
Only essential county government personnel, as described by emergency preparedness protocol, and those needed to staff the Emergency Operations Center are asked to come to work tomorrow.
