Richland Library wants to keep you and your family ahead of the storm.

Track activity in the tropics and get the latest updates on local conditions by connecting with:

  • WLTX: Website & App
  • South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD): Website & App
  • Palmetto SC Region of the American Red Cross: Website & App

All three organizations are sharing important and life-saving information by analyzing the current, past and future aspects of the Atlantic hurricane season. Listen to their virtual discussion by clicking on the video, below.
