Charleston, South Carolina, 15 minutes via the Connector. Folly Beach

From the Desk of the Mayor
July 2010
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
Hurricane Season has arrived. Are you prepared? If you are renting, have you put your S.C. Driver’s License or Voters Registration card in a safe place so you will know where it is located? You will need one of the following to return to your residence on Folly:
- Voter’s Registration Card
- S.C. Driver’s License showing Folly Beach address
- Lease (if renting and you have no driver’s license or voter’s registration)
- Utility bill (if you are a property owner)
You should take enough supplies to last at least three days. Your supply bag should include but not be limited to the following:
- Bedding ( cot, lounge chair, blankets, pillows, sleeping bag)
- Food ( non-cooking, non-refrigerated, 2 day supply)
- Beverages (non-alcoholic)
- Cooler with ice
- Baby Supplies, if needed
- Changes of Clothing and extra pair of shoes
- Medications
- Entertainment Items (board games, deck of cards, reading materials)
- Medical supplies and prescription medication
Hurricane evacuations cannot be successfully undertaken without some preplanning and preparations. The basic preparations should include the following:
- Determine your destination prior to evacuating
- Know your evacuation route
- Keep a full tank of gasoline
- Pack supplies sufficient for 3 to 5 days
- Pack important papers (insurance, identifications, property inventory)
- Have a plan for your pets
- Secure your home before leaving
- Notify friends and relatives of your destination
If you are sick or need help in the event of a hurricane, call 588-7003 and give your name, address, and the help you need to the dispatcher.
My primary concern is keeping you, the residents and your property as safe as possible. Folly Beach Public Safety is busy preparing for the Bi-Annual Community Hurricane Meeting to be held at the Holiday Inn. I will keep you apprised of the date and time as soon as it is determined. There will be individuals present who are knowledgeable in their fields and who will be happy to share their knowledge with you.
The City is in the process of adopting the FY10-11 Budget for General Government. The budget is presented with no millage increase and no funds taken from Fund Balance. The budget is on the web site if you would like to review it. The FY10-11 Budget will remain there until November 30, 2010. If you have any questions or just would like further information, i.e., detail behind the department spreadsheets indicating what each account represents, charts relaying a 10-year history, or any other information, come into City Hall and see Toni Connor-Rooks, telephone number 708-9474.
Above all, be safe and if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. I am your mayor and I am here to serve you.
