South Carolina Emergency Management Division Launches New Site for Business Reentry Certification

Businesses in South Carolina now have a new automated online
tool to register for post-disaster reentry following evacuations
for large-scale emergencies. The application streamlines the
process, allowing business leaders to immediately certify their
organizations and download an auto-signed memorandum of agreement
showing they are in good standing with the State of South Carolina.
The new automated reentry tool is located on South Carolina
Emergency Management Division’s (SCEMD) website at
https://www.scemd.org/recover/get-help/business-reentry/.
“The fastest way for a community to recover from a disaster is
by helping local businesses resume normal operations as quickly as
possible. This new tool will do that. It makes the process more
efficient for both business leaders and our staff, especially under
emergency conditions,” said Kim Stenson, director of SCEMD.
Businesses that certified prior to the automated system going
online still have a valid memorandum of agreement. Companies
desiring to maintain reentry certification at the end of the
three-year period need simply to go online and re-certify.
It is important to note that a business must be registered with
the South Carolina Secretary of State in order to certify for
post-disaster reentry. Reentry certification does not prohibit
local public safety officials from denying access to an area deemed
unsafe. County emergency managers may have additional local
procedures for businesses wishing to gain access after an
evacuation. Please check with your local emergency management
office for ordinances that may apply to your business
community.
This web-based application was built at no cost to taxpayers
through a partnership between the South Carolina Emergency
Management Division and South Carolina Interactive, doing business
as SC.gov.
