Mark your calendars for Disaster Awareness Day 2025
This year, the Town is hosting Disaster Awareness Day on Thursday, May 29, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at The Seabrook Island Club Island House. From noon to 1:00 pm, a free lunch will be provided for those who attend.
We have an amazing lineup of speakers to help you prepare for any disaster that could come our way. The featured guest speaker will be Dana Souza, City
Manager for Sanibel Island, FL. Dana will speak about how Hurricane Ian decimated Sanibel Island in 2022 and how the island continues to recover today. He will have impactful stories to share about how a major hurricane can affect a community.
The new director for Charleston County Emergency Management
Department (CCEMD), Justin Pierce, will speak as well as Chief Ryan Kunizter (STJFD). Both will provide information about the support each department offers to Charleston County during a disaster.
Chief Meteorologist Bill Walsh from Live 5 News will emcee the event.
We hope you all join us this year. With this year’s exciting lineup of speakers, it is sure to be unlike any other Disaster Awareness Day.
