According to city leaders, Hanahan is being provided sand and bags by Berkeley County to assist those in need. Hanahan city employees will be on hand to assist with the filling and loading of bags and appreciate any volunteers from the community to assist with this effort.
Sandbags will be available beside the City Hall Gymnasium on Yeamans Hall Road at the following dates and times:
