Authorities have confirmed extensive outages affecting 911 emergency services across Mississippi and Louisiana. The disruptions have led to temporary solutions being implemented, including alternate numbers for emergency contacts in several areas. Some regions reported that 911 lines are down, and Statewide calls are particularly impacted. Louisiana officials have announced that services have been restored in many areas after the statewide outages, although issues persist in specific parishes. Residents are urged to use alternative contacts while restoration efforts continue across the affected states.
