What the hell is this? And should we be in panic mode? If you have a smart phone, you probably received an Emergency Alert:
Per MEMA. Sporadic 911 outages. In emergency, use 10 digit number for local police and fire.
So here’s the number for police and fire: 617 343-4911 – just in case you have an emergency.
Earlier on Friday, both Boston Police and Fire believed the issues with 911 were resolved but it appears there is intermittent outages. So be aware.
