Communications Continuity
See where communications disruptions could affect 911 access, emergency alerts, and the flow of critical public information across California.
What this means
Connectivity is emergency infrastructure.
A community-isolation outage may limit 911 calls or emergency notifications.
- Includes qualifying wireline, VoIP/IP, and mobile interruptions.
- Does not represent every dropped call, weak signal, or internet slowdown.
- County detail remains on the official Cal OES dashboard until a dependable machine-readable feed is available.
