A two-hour 911 outage in Sedgwick county this past weekend is raising questions about how the current system works. Elora Forshee, the county director for emergency communications said in Tuesday’s County Commissioner’s meeting that while they knew on Sunday AT&T was going to do testing on the system, they were told everything would remain working. However, being left in the dark for hours with calls not going through was unacceptable, Forshee said during the meeting. “Those are the redundancies that I am pushing back on the coordinating council to say, ‘hey this is not working as promised, you need to evaluate this because we really should not get to a point where the redundancy is pulled at multiple layers where you get to the point to the backup or to another county,'” Forshee said.
