SLED, DNR, National Guard respond to flooding in Marion County
Marion County, S.C. — Teams from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the National Guard, and the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) are working tirelessly to protect communities in Marion County affected by flooding, according to Senator Kent Williams.
The impacted areas include Galivants Ferry, Nichols, Brittons Neck, Centenary, and surrounding communities.
Senator Williams emphasized, “Safety still remains our top priority.”
The Town of Nichols’ Facebook page urged residents to avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary throughout Sunday night.
The town assured law enforcement will continue to monitor the roads 24/7 as river conditions are closely observed.
Officials noted that while rivers are starting to recede, there is still a long way to go, and the situation remains critical.
Senator Williams advised residents to respect barricades and stay aware of their surroundings.
“As the water recedes, officials will assess the next steps,” Williams stated.
Additional updates on potential road openings may be provided on Monday.
