Widespread Verizon outage prompts emergency alerts in Washington, New York City

​The nation's largest wireless provider said that its engineers "are working to identify and solve the issue quickly."
Excerpt:

Verizon, which has more than 146 million customers, appears to have started experiencing services issues around 12:00 p.m. ET, according to comments on social media site X.

Users also reported problems with Verizon competitor T-Mobile. But the company said that it was not having any service issues.

In Washington, D.C., the District's official emergency notification system sent out a message to residents saying that the Verizon outage was "nationwide."

"If you have an emergency and can not connect using your Verizon Wireless device, please connect using a device from another carrier, a landline, or go to a police district or fire station to report the emergency," the AlertDC system told recipients.

New York City's Office of Emergency Management also said it was aware of the outage without mentioning Verizon by name. The city said it was "working closely with our partners" to review the outage and "assess any potential effects on city agencies & essential services."
