GULF SEARCH AND RESCUE DEPLOYMENT to Georgia and South Carolina
SOUTH CAROLINA – GulfSAR is continuously monitoring weather conditions and the projected rainfall in South Carolina and Georgia.
GulfSAR member sare deploying from several states to assist the South Carolina and Georgia Coastline as Debby’s impacts are felt.Out of state members will be arriving as early as tomorrow morning.
GulfSAR has two boat teams and an airboat enroute to provide support in flood prone areas.
We will be working with the Emergency Operations Center to assist multiple agencies with high wind and swiftwater rescues. We help bridge the gap because most agencies are limited to responses below 55 mph winds, where we are not.
As the storm passes through the area, we will reassess the situation and respond to other areas as needed.
We will provide further information and updates as the situation warrants.
