STATE — The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a different type of destruction than the disasters the South Carolina Emergency Management Division has responded to in recent years, according to its director.
“There were no infrastructure and residential damages associated with COVID that we normally see in hurricanes and tornadoes and floods,” Kim Stenson said. “However, the impact on our citizens was certainly significant — let’s say probably catastrophic — in terms of deaths and economic instability.”

SIMPSONVILLE — Law enforcement and others were recently recognized for their efforts in keeping alcohol out of underage hands.
Such recognitions for the 13th Circuit Alcohol Enforcement Team, which covers both Pickens and Greenville counties, went virtual the past few years, thanks to the pandemic.
