South Carolina ETV and Public Radio (SCETV) will provide comprehensive, statewide coverage to keep South Carolinians informed, prepared and safe as a winter storm system is expected to impact the state beginning Saturday. Governor Henry McMaster has declared a State of Emergency, activating the South Carolina Emergency Operations Plan and allowing state agencies to mobilize resources and coordinate response efforts.

Why it matters

With forecasters predicting a mix of sleet, ice and snow, along with freezing temperatures that could create hazardous travel conditions and impact utilities, SCETV's comprehensive coverage will ensure residents have access to critical weather information, emergency announcements and official updates from state and local agencies.

The details

SCETV will leverage the South Carolina Emergency Information Network (SCEIN) to share weather updates and emergency information. The network will broadcast and livestream official briefings, provide the latest information on state government office closures and response efforts, and direct viewers and listeners to trusted preparedness and safety resources from the South Carolina Emergency Management Division and the National Weather Service.
