Anyone experiencing an emergency can still dial 911 to be added to a list, officials said. Rescues will be prioritized once service resumes.
Shortly before 2 p.m., the Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office announced they had suspended service to areas south of Highway 521 due to unsafe wind conditions.
