Spartanburg County hurricane guide

The Spartanburg County Office of Emergency Services, created in 2022, brings together the former Emergency Management and fire coordination functions. Its Emergency Management division runs the Emergency Operations Center, the CERT program, and a special medical needs registry. The county site did not post county-specific hurricane or evacuation guidance on the pages checked. Register for county alerts and follow them for storm instructions.

Evacuation centers

Open only when announced

Evacuation centers open only when officials announce them, and not every center opens for every storm. Check the official list of open centers before you leave home. Bring your own bedding, food, water, and medicines.

Spartanburg County did not publish a standing list of hurricane shelters on the pages checked. Shelters open only when the county announces them, so do not go to a site until it is announced. Check the county's alerts and website for open shelters.

Help to evacuate

  • Spartanburg County Special Medical Needs Registry: If you or someone in your home has special medical needs, ask the county about its Special Medical Needs Registry. Call the Office of Emergency Services to ask how to register. Phone: 864-595-5365. Website.

Cities and towns

Each city has its own services and some have their own alerts. The county's evacuation zones, evacuation centers, and emergency alerts cover everyone, in every city and in unincorporated areas.
