Can’t call? Find a fire station, or keep driving

With telephone and cellular networks out throughout King County due to storms and a prolonged power outage, residents are advised to find other ways of communicating.

Citizens who need emergency assistance and cannot get through to 9-1-1 on their home phone should use their cell phone to call 9-1-1.

If cell phone service is not available in your area, try your call from another area, go to the nearest fire station, or use a phone in a public place.

The 9-1-1 centers cannot receive text messages.
