First responders say there is a statewide outage affecting the 911 system. Not all parishes are affected. For example, Livingston Parish says they are on a different 911 system, but they are having issues transferring emergency calls to other parishes.

St. Helena, St. Mary and Assumption parishes said their 911 systems are back online. According to the Associated Press , AT&T was reporting damage to some of its fiber optic lines and that was affecting 911 services across Mississippi.

“Our teams have dispatched and are working as quickly as possible to repair multiple fiber cuts, affecting 911 service for some customers in Louisiana and Mississippi. We understand how important these services are and appreciate the patience of our customers,” an AT&T spokesperson said in an email.
