A statewide 911 issue is affecting services across Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency is reporting intermittent issues with 911 systems across the state.
Because of the issue, normal 911 calls may be disrupted.
If you have an emergency, you should still try to call 911 first. If you cannot get through, you should call your county 911 center directly. Here are the numbers for the 911 centers in Western Pennsylvania.
Here are local numbers to call:

Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency officials in a press conference said the system issue, which was first reported in Delaware County, is being investigated.
Individuals should not experience delays when calling 911, officials said. The “intermittent and sporadic” issue causes some data from callers not to be transferred.
The public is told to follow instructions from their local 911 centers or public safety agencies.
No one should call 911 and then hang up to test if it is working. Officials say this would be considered a “hang-up call” and would lead to an investigation.
Governor Josh Shapiro said he has been briefed on the situation and that officials are “working to restore full service as quickly as possible.”
