A major 911 outage has affected Michigan statewide, prompting a significant network resilience upgrade. The outage, which occurred on Thursday, has left millions of residents unable to contact emergency services.
The cause of the outage remains unclear, with authorities still investigating the issue. In the meantime, residents are advised to use alternative methods of contacting emergency services, such as the following:
- In Grand Traverse County, emergencies can be reported by calling 231-922-4500.
- Additional emergency contact numbers are also available for other counties in Michigan.
The network resilience upgrade is expected to enhance the reliability and redundancy of the 911 system in the state. This will help ensure that emergency services remain available and accessible during future outages.
