What Can I Do For 911?

Keep the telephone company advised of any changes in your name or address, so they can keep the database current. Post a road name sign if you live on a private road, and post you house number where it can be easily seen by responding emergency peersonnel so they can find you faster. Do not use any telephone fro the first few hours after a disaster situationm, unless it is a life-threatening emergency. This will help to keep lines clear for emergency communications.

Support E-911 tax issues that are presented to the voters. Currently the taxpayers of Washington State are paying only $8.40 a year per telephone number to cover the expenses of Enhanced 911 services. Ferry County is dependent on assistance from the State to continue to provide service to its residents. Without maintenance of this minimal tax, the State cannot assist Ferry County with operations.
