Tropical Storm Isaias is now a Category 1 hurricane projected to arrive on the Carolinas’ doorstep early next week. “It is crucial for everyone to take this virus into consideration when making your emergency plans this year,” according to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control. “Your first priority should be to protect yourself from a potential hurricane if an evacuation is issued for your area. Take time to gather emergency supplies and discuss emergency plans with friends & family. A basic emergency kit for storms should contain “enough water, food and supplies in your kit for three to seven days for each person and pet,” Ready NC says.
