Reminder: Disaster Awareness Day June 1
Please plan to attend the
2023 Disaster Awareness Day
on Thursday, June 1 from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
at the Seabrook Island Club
The Atlantic hurricane season that runs from June 1 to November 30 is quickly approaching! With South Carolina as one of the most vulnerable states in the nation to be impacted by hurricanes, emergency preparedness is especially important for residents of barrier island communities.
The program will focus on hurricane preparedness covering preparation, evacuation, and return. Prizes will be raffled off throughout the event with the opportunity to win the “Grand Prize.” The first ten attendees will receive a free NOAA weather radio. Reception and complimentary lunch will follow. No RSVP is required.
Don’t miss an opportunity to take a crash course in disaster preparedness and learn how our community will handle a disaster or hurricane scenario. It’s also a great opportunity for residents to speak to our emergency management officials in one place. For more information, contact Robin Ochoa at rochoa@townofseabrookisland.org.

Who Do You Call?
When there is a situation that requires some type of intervention or response, who do you call? Sometimes it is confusing because there are three entities on Seabrook Island: Town of Seabrook Island, Seabrook Island Property Owners Association, and Seabrook Island Club.
The Town of Seabrook Island (TOSI) is responsible for the beach below the high tide line. To protect public safety and preserve the beach’s natural beauty, the Town Council has adopted a comprehensive list of beach rules, including requirements for pets. The town also provides the Beach Patrol, which renders a variety of services. If any medical or other emergency, such as drowning, occurs on the beach, call 911. If you see a violation of beach rules, call or text the Beach Patrol at (843) 718-6083. (Please note that permission to have a bonfire on the beach must be obtained from SIPOA. Click here for the Beach Fire Permit Application.)
Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA) is responsible for Gate Access control and SIPOA rules compliance. Please do not call the Gate House unless an immediate response is needed (843-768-6641). Examples include a noise disturbance, a nuisance or danger involving wildlife, or a tree or other obstacle on the road. Instead, contact the SIPOA offices at (843) 768-0061 from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm Monday through Friday or email publiccomment@sipoa.org. In the case of a medical or other emergency, call 911.
Seabrook Island Club is responsible for the Golf Courses, Racquet Club, Beach Club pools, and Equestrian Center. If you see a rules violation on a golf course, such as people putting after hours, individuals dropping balls and playing a hole or two, or children playing ball on a green or fairway, call the Club’s Security Personnel at (843) 991-8700. Provide them with the name of the course, hole number, and any other pertinent information. In the case of unauthorized vehicles on the course, call the Club’s Security Personnel. In addition, get the LSV license number so that the Club can look up the owner and reach them personally. At the Beach Club, members should bring any concern directly to the attention of staff in real-time so that they can address it immediately. In the case of a medical or other emergency, call 911.

What Can YOU Do?
Volunteering is an integral part of life on Seabrook Island. You can help. Tidelines maintains a webpage where lots of information about Seabrook Island can be found. One of the most helpful items is our Who Does What page. With three entities operating separately as well as in concert, things can be confusing… even when it comes to volunteer opportunities. Around municipal elections in the fall, the Town solicits volunteers. Annually in February, SIPOA and SI Club hold elections for board positions and build their committees from volunteer responses. Each entity makes available the information about the positions they seek to fill. Tidelines does not publish SI Club information for activities available only to members.
To see what volunteer opportunities there are at the Town of Seabrook Island, click here. You will find information about the boards, commissions, and committees as well as a volunteer form.
To see what volunteer opportunities there are at SIPOA, click here. You will find information about SPOA committees with descriptions and approximate time commitment associated with each. The volunteer form can be accessed here.
To learn about volunteer opportunities for members of the SI Club, contact the Seabrook Island Club Board of Governors.
