The department existed under various titles prior to July 5, 1983, when County Council officially created the County's Emergency Preparedness Division. On June 20, 1987, the renewed agency got its first real field exposure when lightning started a fire of an 80 million gallon fuel tank at the Hess Terminal.

  Lowcountry Oyster Festival  

  "The World's Largest Oyster Festival!"
  The Oyster Festival is a two-day tribute to the mighty mollusk so many of us know and love. It is little wonder that the Oyster Festival has been the highlight of Charleston's "January-doldrums" for the past 26 years. And for 20 consecutive years, the Lowcountry Oyster Festival has been named one of the "top 20 events in the southeast" by the Southeastern Tourism Society.

  Southeastern Wildlife Exposition 

  Simply put, the mission of the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is to continue to positively impact the local and statewide economies through increased tourism; to showcase the finest wildlife art available in the world; to invest in and positively influence wildlife and nature education through specialized programming and scholarship funding; and to assist in the conservation of wildlife and the environment by creating awareness and contributing financially to designated programs.
  
  The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition plays a dual role in South Carolina. As an event, its estimated $63.8 million annual economic impact is unparalleled in the state, bringing life to the area at a traditionally slow time for the Lowcountry tourist industry. In addition, the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition provides the public with affordable access to cultural and educational opportunities as they relate to wildlife and nature conservation and preservation. Its programs underscore the need for educating ourselves and our children about the conservation and preservation of our wild and natural resources.
  
  Through art, exhibits, lectures, school programs, scholarship funding and financial giving, the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition increases awareness of the natural gifts which are increasingly taken for granted. Focusing attention on local, regional and global issues - the Exposition presents a forum which brings these issues "home" and personalizes them, with the hope that one day attention to conservation and environmental issues will be as commonly taught as ABC's. By creating this new environmental morality, SEWE is working to make us aware of our natural treasures, and of the need to protect and preserve them for the future.

  Battle of Secessionville 

  Early June 1862, Maj. Gen. David Hunter transported Horatio G. Wright's and Isaac I. Stevens's Union divisions under immediate direction of Brig. Gen. Henry Benham to James Island where they entrenched at Grimball's Landing near the southern flank of the Confederate defenses. On June 16, contrary to Hunter's orders, Benham launched an unsuccessful frontal assault against Fort Lamar at Secessionville. Because Benham was said to have disobeyed orders, Hunter relieved him of command.

  The events that unfolded at tower battery on on June 16, 1862 were described by the Confederate commanders in their official reports . These reports were entered into the congressional records after the war and published. To read the Confederate Commanders own description of the battle click the link below to download a compiled report taken from the official records ordered by Congress.

  Annual Charleston Parade of Boats

  You may participate in the parade by simply registering with the city, decorating your boat from stem to stern with lights, and joining us on the water. Thousands of spectators view the parade along the route from Mt. Pleasant to Charleston each year. The mid-point of the parade features a spectacular fireworks display shot from the harbor.
  
  The parade begins at approximately 5:30PM near the Mt. Pleasant side and ends in the Ashley River, (after processing down the Charleston side of the Cooper River), at approximately 7:30PM. We say approximately, because of various factors, including wind, current, and the ability of the boats to maintain headway.
  
  Captains and crews will be invited to the Captain's Party at a date, time, and location to be announced. Prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place boats in both the power and sail categories, with the best-in-show award going to the highest scoring boat overall.
  
  For those who also wish to attend the City of Charleston's tree lighting ceremony in Marion Square on the same evening, there is ample time to get to the waterfront and enjoy both. We look forward to seeing you on the water!
