In the midst of a heat wave that will absolutely have acute health repercussions for many people, some requiring an emergency response and now 911 is down across the state. This is horrifying.
It's really really scary. In Minneapolis a few years back there were weeks where we definitely knew nobody was coming if we called. Lasted much longer in the traditionally underserved neighborhoods. That's such a scary thing that I don't wish on anyone for one minute. Sending brain hugs 🫂
This is truly awful
And the “heat dome” is just beginning 🤦♀️
You’re in Boston, right?
I lived there for almost 7 years; I cannot even imagine getting that notification
And now, we might all see them 😳
People are like "oh it's easy just call your local station" like people with landlines but no Internet exist and may not have the Yellow Pages close by during a medical emergency?
Or are we all supposed to know our local police department phone number now?
