Hi all-
Landlines run during power outages until the battery backup at the switch fails. If an outage is particularly protracted, CL will connect a generator to the switch to keep it running. People living in the mountains should maintain their landlines so that the everbridge (reverse 911) can reach them. The 911 dispatching system runs on the revenues from landlines it's the 911 surcharge in your bill. This is how the 911 dispatch centers are maintained and upgraded. Cell phones, even with a micro cell or VOIP, aren't always reliable. If you choose to abandon your landline, please make sure your cell phone is registered with the Sheriff's office: https://member.everbridge.net/453003085612231/login
