Snow is expected to impact communities across South Carolina, creating hazardous travel conditions, potential power outages, and disruptions to daily services. Icy roads, reduced visibility, and freezing temperatures may pose risks to drivers, pedestrians, and vulnerable populations.

This list includes trusted local, state, and utility resources that provide real-time updates, emergency assistance, and essential services during the winter storm. Please bookmark this page and check back regularly, as information may change as conditions evolve.
