Received a public safety alert on my cell phone that 911 emergency number may not work on some cell phone carriers and to use a non-emergency phone number.

(that number for the Orlando area is 407-665-6650)

Ok. I am going say it. This is very odd.

911 Outages Investigated For Possible Sabotage As Service Provider Promises Changes

June 15, 2020
An investigation is underway into whether multiple 911 system outages which left more than 1 million people across southern Arizona without service earlier this month were the result of sabotage or a distributed denial of service (DDoS), but the outages may simply have been the latest in a string of problems for the service provider.

Cochise, Pima, and Santa Cruz counties lost 911 services for several hours in the morning of June 6 when their systems experienced an undisclosed problem. The outages occurred amid protests related to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, leading public safety agencies across the region to issue alerts via news outlets and social media explaining alternative methods for requesting an emergency response.

Cell phone service still out here.

I wonder how many people can not make 911 calls that need that help.

Travesty.

It gets dark soon on the east coast. Make preparations if you can not communicate with anyone.
