At least six cities in four different states are experiencing 911 outages
https://abcnews.go.com/US/911-outages-reported-states-us/story?id=109371506Emergency 911 phone service has been restored in some of the areas hit by outages on Wednesday night.
At least six cities in four different states across the United States reported experiencing 911 call outages earlier in the evening, according to officials.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said service had been restored in the city just before 9:15 p.m. PT.
"9-1-1 phone service has been restored," the LVMPD wrote in a post on X. "All of the individuals who called during the outage have been called back and provided assistance. Non-emergency calls are also working. As always, please do not call 9-1-1 unless you have an emergency."
Nevada State Police also confirmed via X that service had been restored for Southern Nevada's Clark County, which includes Las Vegas and Henderson, areas that had reported the outages earlier.
