911 Services and Wireless Phones

During an emergency, wireless phones may not provide the most timely or accurate location data if used for a 911 emergency call. Calls may be misdirected to the wrong emergency response center or the emergency response center may make errors when determining your location. USE A WIRELESS PHONE ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK DURING AN EMERGENCY.
