Hilton Head Island Emergency Contact Information

Listings of emergency contact information for Hilton Head Law Enforcement, Fire Department, Hospital and Medical Services, U.S. Coast Guard Marine & Air Emergencies, and other emergency contacts.

Hilton Head Island is a pleasant, safe environment for visitors and locals alike. However, the abundance of water activities and natural hazards you may find while Exploring the island mean that sometimes you may need the services of the Beaufort County Sherrif's Office, the Hilton Head Fire Department, or the Hilton Head Island Hospital Medical Center or Emergency Room.

When you're on the water, always practice boating safety, wear or bring adequete life preservers, obey all laws and always prepare by checking local weather forecasts before you depart. When swimming in the ocean, be careful of dangerous riptides and undercurrents that can challenge or overcome even the most experienced swimmers. Never swim or boat alone, and always let someone know where you're going, when you're leaving, and when you're expected to return.
