MONITORING TROPICAL STORM IAN

The Kiawah Island Community Association, Town of Kiawah Island and Charleston County Emergency Management officials are actively monitoring Tropical Storm Ian, and participated in today's tri-county conference call with Charleston County's Emergency Management Department and regional counterparts.

BE ADVISED

Tropical Storm Ian is forecast to strengthen rapidly over the next several days as it crosses over the western Caribbean Sea into the southeast Gulf of Mexico. Kiawah property owners should prepare for potential heavy rainfall, tropical-storm-force winds and storm surge beginning as soon as Wednesday. 

BEGIN PREPARATIONS

Residents and property owners are advised to monitor local media, review their hurricane plans, and begin to prepare their property or make contact with their property managers. 

The town and community association are coordinating island preparations in the event that our area would be directly affected.
