Limit Phone Use

HTC strongly urges residents to limit the use of their home and wireless telephones during periods of severe weather. Too many callers can jam telephone lines or towers and leave emergency personnel with busy signals or dropped calls. By keeping the lines clear, emergency personnel can communicate quickly and efficiently.

Residents should refrain from calling 911 unless it is an actual emergency. Should you need information on the storm or emergency preparedness, you can contact Horry County Emergency Management at 915-5150 or Horry County's Information Line at 915-5005. Residents should stay tuned to their local television and radio broadcast stations for current weather updates.

HTC appreciates your patience.
