Hurricane Florence Response
Hurricane Florence barreled toward the east coast of the United States at a historically slow pace for weeks before making landfall on Wrightsville Beach, N.C. on September 14, 2018. The coastline of South Carolina was spared the direct force of Hurricane Florence, however impacts were felt throughout the state for weeks after due to extreme flooding.

Hydraulic Sandbag Machine Helps Fill the Gap
When it comes to disaster response, one of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ top priorities is supporting immediate life-saving and public safety efforts in partnership with FEMA, state and local emergency management officials. Meeting this priority often includes providing sandbags and other resources to protect vital roadways and critical infrastructure during a flood event.

Story
Using the DTOS to Mitigate Flooding

Story
Resuming the Renourishment at Myrtle Beach
South Carolina is no stranger to hurricanes and each one takes its toll on shorelines and beach communities located here and across the Atlantic coastal region. After each significant storm, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel assess erosion impacts, work hand-in-hand with state and local partners to determine mitigation measures for erosion damage to shoreline projects and take authorized measures to rehabilitate affected areas.
