Yesterday an incredible thing happened - 911 hung up when the caller, who felt threatened by a stranger knocking on the door (second time), fell silent while hiding to avoid giving away their position.
April 2 this year, I found myself unable to call 911 because restricted breathing rendered me incapable - an issue overlooked by Text To 911 advocates, valid nonetheless.
My New Year's resolution comes early in announcing a campaign to implement this critical avenue to emergency services in Lewis County sooner than later.
Updates to follow.
