Telephone Number Maintenance
Telephone Number Maintenance is of vital importance and will help ensure the public receives full system benefits.
- Telephone number address assignment or verification
Upon request, the 9-1-1 service provider will provide a list of landline phone numbers within the community for validation. Additionally, partial lists may be sent as needed if there are telephone subscribers without 9-1-1 valid addresses; ex: if an area is being redeveloped, restructured or if there are concerns regarding current addressing and the effects it has on emergency response.
If a 9-1-1 caller reports a different address than what automatically appears on the dispatcher's screen, an error report is generated. The 9-1-1 Addressing Officer will be contacted by the local phone company for the correct address. It is critical that these error reports are responded to within 24 hours of receipt.
