Happy Halloween from Dorchester County EMD! The scariest thing we could think of is a family that moved to South Carolina from the Midwest last year that STILL does not have a Family Emergency Plan! THE HORROR!

Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of winter...so when you have to scrape the frost off your car later this week blame him! That reminds me...Make sure to keep some basic winter weather preparedness items in your car like an ice scraper, set of warm clothes and a blanket!
