I absolutly agree with having a list of 7 digit numbers of places to call (of course depending on if the service availible). Being a 911 dispatcher I can tell you that for our agency we serve around 800,000 residents. For those residents we have a grand total of 16 911 lines. Even in large local events those lines can fill up very quickly. If an event were to affect all of our residents I am certain that you would be lucky if you could even get a busy signal.
