911 emergency telephone service was restored to most areas affected by outages Wednesday evening.
At least six cities in four different states in the United States reported 911 call outages earlier in the evening, officials said. Many of those outages had been restored by Thursday morning, authorities said, although some Texas police departments had not yet announced whether cellular and landline service was back online.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said service was restored to the city just before 9:15 p.m. PT.
“9-1-1 phone service has been restored,” LVMPD wrote in a message on Also, as always, please do not call 9-1-1 unless it is an emergency.
Nevada State Police also confirmed via X that service had been restored for Clark County in southern Nevada, which includes Las Vegas and Henderson, areas that had reported the outages earlier.
South Dakota’s entire statewide emergency call system experienced an outage, Pierre police confirmed to ABC News Wednesday evening. However, early Thursday morning local time, the highway patrol announced that it had been reinstated.
“Service has been restored to the South Dakota 911 system,” read a message from SDHP on X. “Our emergency system is fully operational and ready to respond quickly to any situation.
