Update: 911 Voice Call Service Restored

The regional communication problems affecting 911 voice call service have been resolved.

You may now resume using 911 as normal for all emergency assistance in the Westerville area.

Thank you for your patience while this issue was addressed. As always, the Westerville Division of Police's non-emergency line remains available at 614-882-7444 for non-emergency matters.

*************

Important: 911 Voice Call Delays
We are aware of regional communication problems affecting 911 voice call service. Depending on your cellular carrier, callers may experience delays when attempting to connect with 911.

If you are in the Westerville area and need emergency assistance, we recommend calling our non-emergency line at 614-882-7444 whenever possible. This line may provide the most reliable connection to emergency services while these issues are occurring.

If you are unable to connect to 911 or can't make a telephone call, you can also text 911 in an emergency.

We do not have an estimate for when services will be fully restored but will provide updates at www.Westerville.org as they become available.

Stay cool and stay safe, Westerville. Here are some heat safety tips to stay safe:

–Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon temperatures and check on older neighbors or those vulnerable to heat illness.

–Swim Safely: Heat fatigue can increase the risk of drowning. Always swim with a buddy, supervise young swimmers and swim in designated areas. Swimming in reservoirs is prohibited.

–Prepare for Possible Power Outages: Have a basic plan in place, such as keeping flashlights, batteries, a weather radio and non-perishable food accessible, and remember to call the Westerville Electric Division to report outages (614-901-6700).

The Central Ohio Transit Authority has suspended fares system-wide Wednesday, September 2 due to the Heat Advisory in Franklin County. Visit www.Westerville.org/COTAPlus to learn more.

On September 11, 2001, first responders and ordinary citizens showed profound courage in the face of tragedy.

Help us honor that spirit of hope and resilience of American heroes—starting Sept. 3 we're sourcing notes from residents to honor the 25th anniversary and the collective community spirit shown during and following the events of September 11, 2001.

Comment boxes will be available at Customer Service (21 S. State St.) starting Sep. 1 and the Community Center (350 N Cleveland Ave.) starting Sep. 6 until Sept. 10. Community notes will be displayed at First Responders Park (374 W. Main St.).

Join us on Fri, September 11, alongside members of Westerville Fire and Police Divisions, City Council and the VFW/American Legion to observe the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. The event will take place in First Responders Park (374 W. Main St.) around artifact C-40, a piece of steel from the North Tower.
