USCG EMERGENCY NUMBER---SAVE TO SPEED DIAL

[Paul26]

Emergency US Coast Guard number in NC--252-247-4570

Everyone going out on the water on the NC coast should have this number saved and speed dialed on their cell phone.

This number is to the USCG Sector Command Center in Wilmington. They have immediate communications to every rescue resource on the entire coast of NC.

Thanks Paul.
I love how this is always a post before the season or a bad weather day. People often forget about the risk involved in duck hunting, especially in Eastern North Carolina. Someone, somewhere, is going to go out on too little of a boat this year on too rough of a day.
