SCDOT Preparing for Tropical Storm Debby

​SCDOT is preparing for the potential weather impacts of Tropical Storm Debby and reminding the public that now is the time to prepare.

With large amounts of rainfall possible as early as Monday, rains could cause flash flooding or ponding on roadways. SCDOT urges the public never to drive through standing water.

SCDOT crews have worked throughout the weekend with a focus on coastal areas, clearing storm drains and preparing for anticipated heavy rainfall. Crews are preparing supplies, staging equipment and getting ready to respond as needed.

The traveling public should be weather aware and stay tuned to official sources of information including the South Carolina Emergency Management Division, local officials and local broadcasts.
