An evacuation order has been issued and will start at 10 a.m. Saturday for Daufuskie Island, and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is anticipating the last ferry to leave the island at noon Sunday.

The Daufuskie Island Ferry will continue to operate on its regular schedule until the mandatory evacuation is completed, according to its website.

About a quarter of the roughly 400 Daufuskie residents, known as the “Daufuskie 100,” stayed behind last year. Here are their plans for Hurricane Irma.
