Berkeley County Prepares for Heavy Rain, Tropical Threat

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Berkeley County authorities are taking precautionary steps ahead of potential heavy rainfall and flooding this weekend, as a tropical disturbance in the Atlantic — currently designated as Invest 94L — edges closer to the Southeast.

County emergency officials said Friday they are closely monitoring forecasts and have already begun staging resources. Crews with Berkeley County Roads and Bridges are inspecting flood-prone areas, storm drains, and culverts to reduce the risk of localized flooding.

The county’s Emergency Operations Center remains at OPCON 3, meaning normal operating conditions. Still, leaders urged residents to prepare now by reviewing the county’s hurricane guide, available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
