Step #1 in preparing for a 911 outage is to have hard-copies of the non-911 actual phone numbers of the emergency services you might need: especially police, fire, ambulance.
Nice sentiment. Won't work in most places.
My point: Don't think that having the phone number will matter.
It makes a difference in Washington, D.C., where the Metro police have neighborhood substations (I memorized the nearest one's phone number years ago) and other jurisdictions (such as the Capitol Police) can also respond and also have non-911 phone numbers.
Having the phone numbers certainly won't hurt.
