Community Resilience is a term used to describe a community's ability to respond quickly and effectively to and bounce back quickly from a natural or man-made disaster. Williamsburg County recently launched its Community Resilience Initiative to review its current state of disaster readiness and gather information from county residents about areas in which they feel secure and those in which they feel vulnerable - to fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, hazardous waste spills, terrorist attacks, etc.

On the current edition of Insight, Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Williamsburg County Emergency Management and E-911 director Tiffany Cooks about the initiative.

Joseph McGill, Jr., a native of Kingstree now living in the Charleston area, eats, breathes and sleeps African American history - literally. McGill is the founder of the nearly three-year-old Slave Dwelling Project, during which he has slept in 38 former slave cabins in 12 states to draw attention to the existence of the structures and to pay tribute to his enslaved ancestors. In March, McGill will sleep in a former slave dwelling at Hopsewee Plantation in Georgetown County. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews McGill about the Slave Dwelling Project on the current African American History Month special edition of Insight.
