Emergency Disaster Supply
You don't need a hurricane. You need the threat of a hurricane.
When a storm enters the forecast, retail water and ice vanish. That is exactly when we deliver — pallet to truckload, direct to you.
The short answer
When the stores run dry, call Ken. Coastal Water and Ice delivers bulk bottled water and bagged ice by the pallet and the truckload, across the United States, and emergency requests go to Ken first. Call (843) 267-5268 and he'll tell you honestly what's possible.
