911 Callers Get Nowhere During 'Catastrophic Failure' In Seminole County
Wow...this was bad. Makes me wonder what backup systems could be made available.
Seminole County, FL April 18, 2008 When you call 911, you expect an answer. But some Seminole County residents who called the emergency system Thursday morning didn't get one. Instead they got a ringing phone, or silence, or a message saying 911 wasn't available. Full story here.

Yeah they could have had a terrible situation on their hands and possibly many lawsuits. They should have some sort of backup system. we have a backup system for the backup system here. And yeah thankfully no one was hurt or killed during that time.

You have a good point Lolo machines to fail every now and then. Thats why we have back ups around here if something happens and 911 isnt working around here there is something really wrong. Like a plane hit the building (the call center is at the airport right off one of the runways) but even then they have it set up to where it will switch all county calls to the city call center. that is the 3rd back up.
