Hurricane Florence is still a potentially dangerous storm. If you are in an evacuation zone and need shelter, SCEMD has a list of available shelters here. This list includes information about which shelters are pet friendly. There are currently four pet friendly shelters and they are donated on the page with a paw print. All shelters accept service animals.

When the time comes to start cleaning up the mess left behind by severe flooding, take added steps to protect your health and safety.

A portable or “whole-house” electrical generator can be a big help after a hurricane. But make sure you follow the safety precautions.

Recently AARP South Carolina approached Dean Peter Brews, University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business about a feasibility study for a multi-employer retirement plan for South Carolina employees. This idea has worked well in other states where employees did not have access to a retirement plan through their employers. AARP South Carolina wanted to find out if this was a feasible plan for the Palmetto state and, if so, what it would cost based upon the projected participation.
