Colleton County Fire-Rescue's Emergency Management Division has shifted from response to recovery operations. If your home was damaged during the November Edisto Riverine Flood, we need your help. Please report damage(s) by visiting, www.colletonfire.com/recovery. We understand several residents have previously submitted reports for damages related to Tropical Storm Debby. You maybe asking yourself, "Why should I report my damage; we were denied for FEMA assistance for Tropical Storm Debby?" That is a great question. It is possible with the repeated impacts for areas along the Edisto River that FEMA assistance and/or SBA Loans may become available.
Local Damage Assessment Teams will be conducting damage assessment along the Edisto River as soon as the water levels recede. This is why it is important to report damages now to make sure the team conducts a site visit.
Colleton County Fire-Rescue’s Emergency Operations Center is here to help and can be contacted at 843-549-5632.
