Comment on Phone services disrupted across B.C., but emergency calls still workingparent

Comments

I know that there's stories about location not being accurate

If possible, try to use a land line, because the emergency calls are often routed to a different location when made with a cellular phone. This may not be true everywhere, but at least where I live in northern CA cellular calls are routed in such a way that response time can be 20-30 minutes slower than if made via a land line. When experiencing cardiac arrest, the difference in minutes can have a profound effect.
