South Carolina Air National Guard helps state prepare for hurricane season

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Eric Peter and Staff Sgt. Chad Peebles, assigned to the 169th Security Forces Squadron, South Carolina Air National Guard, conduct perimeter checks with ATV’s while a C-130 Hercules cargo plane, assigned to the 145th Airlift Wing, lands at the Georgetown County Airport, S.C., June 5, 2014. South Carolina National Guard Soldiers and Airmen are working side-by-side with the S.C. Emergency Management Division and first responders from local emergency agencies, to effectively respond to any hurricane that may threaten the state. The exercise is based on a hurricane post-landfall response between federal, state and local agencies, which includes training in communications, first responder skills, with the focus on how to better protect and assist citizens during emergency situations.
