Sponsor Our ArticlesOn Thursday, the residents of South Carolina faced the ferocity of Hurricane Helene, amongst the deadliest storms in recent years. The hurricane claimed the lives of 24 unfortunate victims and has left approximately 876,809 people without electricity.
To aid the people affected by this natural disaster, the State’s Public Information Phone System introduced a toll-free Hurricane Helene hotline. The contact number for the Hurricane Helene Information Line is 1-866-246-0133. The operators are at service around the clock to answer queries and provide assistance related to the effects and aftermath of the storm.
The South Carolina Emergency Management Division has issued a detailed guide to ensure safety and manage the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The guidelines include important instructions and tips to prevent further damage and mishaps.
Avoid areas where fallen trees may be tangled with live wires. This is one of the immediate dangers in the aftermath of a hurricane.
Floodwater may contain harmful objects and infectious diseases. It is recommended to avoid wading through these waters unless necessary.
Stay off the roads to help emergency workers clear the roads and restore normalcy faster. Leave the roads for necessary travels only.
Before cleaning up or removing any debris, capture images of the damage for insurance claim purposes. All related receipts should also be saved.
Dealing with debris should be done with caution. Protective clothing such as sturdy shoes, gloves, eyewear, and a helmet should be worn during the process.
Engage with local authorities to learn how to dispose of trash and debris correctly. Cleanup needs can be registered with the ‘Crisis Cleanup’ agency by dialing 1-844-965-1386.
For professional assistance in repairs, South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation maintains a list of licensed contractors. It is recommended to use licensed contractors to prevent complications and ensure quality work.
With these guidelines, residents can ensure their safety and start to recovery process more effectively in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. However, everyone is reminded to stay patient and take one step at a time.
