Law enforcement agencies across four states were left scrambling following reports of major 911 outages that saw millions unable to contact authorities late Wednesday. Many of the outages — reported in Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas and Nevada — were restored by the late evening.
In Nevada, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said around 7 p.m. local time that 'there is a 911 outage impacting your ability to contact us right now.' Locals were urged to dial 911 on mobile devices, which dispatch was able to see and call back, and said calls from landlines 'are NOT working at the moment.' Calls were working again by 9 p.m. . “All of the individuals who called during the outage have been called back and provided assistance,” the department said.
