911 Outage & Emergency Service Change Watch

Track emergency communication services in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days, or same-day for confirmed multi-county 911 outages: 911 outages by state and county with the backup numbers, cause and duration; AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and carrier outages affecting emergency calls; text-to-911 and Next Generation 911 launches and location accuracy changes by county; FCC outage, location and reliability rules and enforcement with fines; dispatch center consolidations, staffing shortage reports and response time data releases; 988 and 311 routing changes; alternative and non-police response program launches and expansions; wireless emergency alert changes and opt-in rules; Apple, Google and Samsung emergency SOS, satellite SOS and medical ID feature changes; and dispatch zone and address changes that reroute calls. Prefer state and county emergency management and 911 authorities, the FCC, carrier status pages, city announcements and established local reporting; ignore unverified posts. Put the county, carrier or program first in the title with the backup number or the change. Use high severity for an active outage, a carrier outage blocking emergency calls, or a text-to-911 launch in a county over 500,000 people. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what is happening, who it affects, what to do, the status, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
