Good Morning Board Members,
As you are likely already aware, 9-1-1 centers across Northern California are currently
experiencing a phone outage. Residents can still text 9-1-1, but are being advised to call
alternative numbers to reach local dispatch centers. I shared Butte County Sheriff’s Office
Facebook post and included the alternative numbers to call for BCSO, Chico PD, Oroville
PD and Gridley PD. Paradise PD is currently working on setting up an alternative number, I
will share that information as well as soon as it is available.
The Facebook Post is available here.
Here’s the information, so you have it available without needing to log into Facebook, but
please feel free to share the post if you would like:
