    Beaufort County Fire Marshal Curtis Avery began the discussion of coordination of all groups of county service sectors ranging from the First Responders of the affected areas to shelters opened to those so dispossessed of their own usable property, to law enforcement to prevent possible looters. Beaufort County EMS Chief John Pack was especially concerned about two prevailing issues that always arise when there is an act of natural tragedy like a hurricane or a tornado: Vendors scamming the affected storm victims and applying for state and federal funding to get the county through this rough patch.

    The county will be putting together a package to send to the proper authorities to request the aforementioned requisite funding. Here below is a press release from the county's Emergency Management dept. position on the possible, maybe probable scamming of some tornado victims. Please heed these words of caution from Beaufort County Fire Marshal Curtis Avery:

Beaufort County Commissioners Requested to Show Resolve for Oversight and Due Process to Protect Children and Families

Government and its bureaucracy are not perfect, and never has been in this self-governed society, here at the local level, at our state level, and at our federal level, therefore, it is incumbent upon all elected politicians to seek a comfortable level of representation for our constituents.
