Presidential debates hotline for Myrtle Beach

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce has established a presidential debates hotline for the public to call with questions regarding either debate.
The number is 1-877-8-DEBATE or 1-877-833-2283.
Volunteers will be operating the phone lines from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. through Thursday.

In preparation, Horry County will operate its Emergency Operation Center, or EOC, for Thursday's big event. It's the same place emergency officials track hurricanes and tropical storms.
The State Law Enforcement Division is leading the security initiative, along with Myrtle Beach and Horry County Police.
"I feel very confident with the resources the Horry County Police can bring to the table. What or how many of these resources will be called into play with these presidential debates is yet to be seen," said Captain Scott Rutherford, with Horry County Police.
The Secret Service has participated in planning too, even though none of the Republican candidates qualify for their protection right now. If that changes, Secret Service will be onboard.
