Police
The Georgia State Patrol provides police protection. For emergencies, dial 911. Routine calls: 635-2303

Fire and EMT
Jekyll Island has its own fire department. For emergencies, dial 911. Routine calls: 635-2930.
The trained staff of Jekyll Island’s Fire Department is on call 24 hours a day for fire and medical emergencies.  The department is equipped with three pumper trucks capable of delivering 1250 gallons per minute at 150 psi, a rescue/mini pumper capable of foam application and an Ambulance. 
    Residents and businesses support the department by paying “fire fees,” which are based on the assessed value of the property. Routine inquiries to the Fire Department can be made by calling 635-2930.  Emergencies, call 911  (or 912 635-2555 from a cell phone.) For information on fire fees, call 635-4097.
The Jekyll Island Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service uses volunteers to supplement the staffing of the department during emergency situations, such as fires and accidents involving casualties. Persons interested in volunteering should visit the fire department and fill out an information form. Volunteers also raise money to purchase equipment, sell street address signs and give out “File of Life” packets and disaster information free to residents and visitors..
Training sessions: Wednesday and Saturday mornings at the fire station.

Life Alert and Technoscout, Inc.: Life Alert at 1-800-247-0000 is a paid subscription service of Emergency Protection for Seniors/others. Technoscout provides Telemergency Alert Device at a cost.

Civil Defense (Hurricanes)
The last hurricane to directly hit Jekyll was in 1898, but several devastated the island in the 1800s. For information on evacuation routes, call the Georgia State Patrol at 635-2303 or the Jekyll Fire Department at 635-2930. The Jekyll Island Civil Defense provides volunteers to give out hurricane information and assist with evacuations. A reverse 911 system is now in effect on Jekyll. If there is information about a pending hurricane that needs to be dispersed, every telephone on the island will be called with the information. Hurricanes rarely hit Jekyll Island, but if and when one does, we need to be ready. 
Wildlife Emergencies
Dial 635-4092. After 5 pm and on weekends, call the State Patrol.
