Charleston Prepares for Disaster with New Grant

Charleston County is stepping up its disaster readiness with an $80,000 grant from the Coastal Community Foundation, empowering Trident United Way to launch year-round coordination through its VOAD program. This funding creates a dedicated role to bridge gaps between nonprofits and local government, ensuring seamless crisis response. With a mission to lift families from poverty, Trident is now better equipped to handle hurricanes and other disasters, having already run tabletop exercises to sharpen preparedness. The proactive, all-hazards approach means communities are ready for any emergency — not just storms — building a stronger, more resilient safety net for everyone.
