C. s office of unification. Reporter what i can tell you is during the threeplus and it may have been longer than that outage, its a situation where people who had at t phones who were trying to dial 911, and just 911, not anything else, got what appeared to be a busy signal, and it has Great Potential for a very dangerous a nationwide situation, and, again, as i said, a very serious, very potentially dangerous situation. I am joined now by allen eder, the spokesman for the d. C. Office of unified communications. I understand you have not received official word from at t yet, and its a difficult situation to verify because, essentially, you dont know its not working until someone gets through to you and they cant or, tonight, people using at t couldnt. Tell us about the steps going into place when Something Like this comes to your attention. Sure, so once we realized that this is a situation, we want to make sure that our community has the proper numbers to reach us if they need us. We immediately put out a 373, 3700 attention 1 when that oc r occurred. So its hard for us to understand who is trying to call do investigation, and that will be done. Thats the most important thing is right now, weve seen this happen before. At t said it was resolved, but to be safe, the number you gave us, on the nbc washington app, keep that number handy. You probably should have always have it handy if you cant get through. I think that thats a great idea. You know, again, were seeing information that this has been resolved. You know, were doing the proper steps here in the city to make sure that our residents are kept safe. Always something to have a backup in your hand in case. Thank you, allen, the d. C. Office of unified communications, and, again, information on the nbc washington app, and because ive seen the situation before where it presents itself as a busy signal, if you call 911 and get a a busy signal, if you have a land line phone in the house, use that, call the ten digits call a Family Member who does not use at t service, have them call. Go through everything. Dont just assume if you hear that busy signal that that means everything is okay. Live in southeast washington, news 4. Good advice. Thank you.
