Print article JUNEAU Technical problems with Alaska Communications services temporarily knocked out 911 service in Alaska’s capital city Thursday afternoon and continued to disrupt internet service into the evening.

We are working to reroute traffic as quickly as possible, isolate the issue and restore service. We have crews mobilized and will work around the clock until service is restored.”
