Dear AWS partners,

NYCEM is aware of a current nationwide Verizon Wireless outage that may be affecting some users trying to call 911. Verizon is working to solve the issue. Please share the following information with your staff and clients:

If you have an emergency and cannot connect using your Verizon Wireless device, please call using a device from another carrier, a landline, or go to a police precinct or fire station to report the emergency. In the meantime, you can check the website or social media account of your cellphone carrier for updates.
