Did you know 10 to 20 earthquakes happen every year in South Carolina?

These natural disasters can cause ground shaking that damages buildings, triggers landslides and more.

While we can’t control when earthquakes occur, we CAN take steps to reduce our risk of injury.

Today, local first responders, including Richland County EMS, the Richland County Sheriff's Department, the Columbia Fire Department and the Columbia Police Department, discussed the importance of the "Slow Down, Move Over" campaign at a media event held at the State Fairgrounds.

When approaching an emergency vehicle with flashing lights:

• Slow down and change lanes if possible
• If a lane change is not possible, approach the area with caution, driving slowly for traffic conditions 🚨🚑

10/13/2026

Help to keep our first responders safe!

“Slow Down, Move Over” the next time you approach flashing lights on the side of the road, and ensure you give Richland County’s emergency professionals the space they need to do their jobs and return home to family.
