"Multiple States Experience Widespread 911 Outages, Including Nevada and South Dakota"

Several cities in at least four states, including Nevada, South Dakota, and Texas, experienced 911 call outages, with some areas reporting statewide disruptions. However, service has been restored in some of the affected areas, including Las Vegas and South Dakota, with authorities urging residents not to call 911 unless it's an emergency. The outages prompted police departments to provide alternative contact methods for reporting emergencies, and the situation is still developing.
