Law enforcement agencies in at least four states have reported 911 service interruptions Wednesday evening. Authorities in South Dakota, Texas, Nebraska and Nevada announced outages in multiple cities, but details about what was causing the outages weren’t immediately available. The South Dakota Department of Public Safety said it “is aware of a 911 service interruption throughout the state,” the agency said in a statement. “Texting to 9-1-1 is operating in most locations. If these methods are not working in your location, citizens can still reach their local police and county sheriff offices emergency services using their non-emergency line,” the department said. “Efforts are underway to resolve the issue,” the department added. In Texas, the City of Del Rio Police said it was aware of an outage with a “major cellular carrier” affecting residents’ ability to reach 911, emphasizing “the issue is with the carrier, and not the City of Del Rio systems.”
