New “Emergency” Phone Number for Hampton Roads, VA USCG
Claiborne:
The Hampton Roads USCG has set up a phone number for emergency calls that cannot use (or get through on) marine VHF channel 16: 1-877-SCCJSAR (722-5727). They cover waters from the MD/DE borders through VA to the NC border. This is especially important to Chesapeake cruisers, including the Potomac and other adjoining navigable rivers.
