Mayor's Greeting

August 2011

Welcome to Sullivan's Island and our website.  School has started and this means changes to regular traffic patterns on the Island.  Thank you for using caution near school bus stops and crosswalks, and for allowing extra time coming on and off the Island during school bus times.  SC Department of Transportation and Charleston County have a few minor road projects left to finish on the Island.  Thank you for your patience and cooperation with these efforts. 

August means we are entering the busy season for tropical storms and hurricanes. If you have already established an emergency plan, thank you. Otherwise, I encourage you to use the tools on the Emergency Preparedness page of the Town's website to get prepared now before a tropical storm or hurricane threatens our area. Meanwhile, the Town continues pursuing new ways to keep you informed of emergency and newsworthy matters.

I am pleased to announce that Sullivan's Island has added a new tool to our communication program.  Soon we will roll out the Sullivan's Island Remote Emergency Notifiation System (S.I.R.E.N.S.), an audible alert system with sirens and voice messages.  S.I.R.E.N.S. will be used for emergency alerts only (ie voluntary or involuntary Island evacuations).  S.I.R.E.N.S. joins our other communication outreach initiatives (Nixle text alerts through cell phone & email, our E-Newsletter, website, call-back phone service and electronic billboards) as another means to keep residents and guests informed.

Thank you and stay safe

Carl J. Smith

Mayor
