BEAUFORT - South Carolina's governor is taking a tour of the state's coastal areas to talk about making sure residents and officials alike will be ready if a hurricane hits the state.

Gov. Mark Sanford on Monday is making stops in Beaufort, Conway and North Charleston to discuss preparedness with local emergency management officials.

The Atlantic hurricane season began June 1 and runs through November 30. Forecasters believe it will be less active than last year, when there were 16 named storms, including eight hurricanes.

Last week, law enforcement officials prepared for a possible evacuation by practicing lane reversals for highways leading toward South Carolina's coastline.
