MyCoast: South Carolina is a project of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. MyCoast is a portal to collect and analyze pictures and data relating to coastal events. The information collected from MyCoast is used to visualize the impacts of coastal hazards and to enhance awareness among decision-makers and stakeholders. As of now there are currently two tools activated on the portal: capturing South Carolina's Highest Tides, and Documenting Storm Damage in South Carolina.
Here is a picture that was sent in from Awendaw, SC to the MyCoast portal of storm damage (on the website there is also a full report with the photo) :
Below is a picture of how DHEC illustrates the tide report and damage reporting that you provide through the MyCoast portal.
