Thank you to Santee Cooper for having Director Hodge speak at the 4th annual Hurricane Forum today.

Director Hodge spoke to how the community, and more specifically the business community, can get best prepared for any potential storms this hurricane season. 

It was great hearing from Ed Piotrowski WPDE, Kamry Bell with SC Department of Insurance, and April Wilson with the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
