||| FROM BRENDAN COWAN for DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT |||
UPDATE: Note that service was fully restored by Lumen late last night. Apparent cause was two simultaneous accidental fiber cuts on the mainland that impacted both primary and back-up routing.
Notice for San Juan County residents: there appears to be a disruption to land line telephone access to 911 as of 10am on Sunday October 27th. Note that 911 dispatchers are receiving notice of the attempted call and will call back any callers after they hang up.
Cell phones appear to be working fine.
Please do not make any test calls as this could interfere with an actual emergency call.
Lumen has been notified and is investigating the cause of the disruption.
