Council members report localized flooding and a tree-damaged business as crews respond
Summary
Council members thanked staff for response work and reported localized ponding and a tree leaning on a business roof; building officials were onsite and the business was closed while stormwater crews continue monitoring.
Council members used the special meeting to acknowledge staff response and to report localized impacts. Council member Bryson thanked emergency and stormwater staff and noted specific on-the-ground issues: "We really appreciate y'all. I know you're there and on the spot, and, I'm glad to hear the stormwater system so far is holding up." She asked about injuries related to a tree on a structure; the fire chief said there were no known storm-related injuries and that building officials were assessing the site.
Other council members reported driving through neighborhoods and passing photos and updates to staff. The town said stormwater crews have been out addressing known ponding locations and that there were no road closures on Hilton Head Island at the time of the report. Council members praised the town's new "my HHI" dashboard for helping track and share situational information.
Town staff asked council members to share official updates through their contact lists and urged residents to use the my HHI app or text reports to the town so staff can respond quickly.
