When that emergency calls comes in, your local 911 dispatchers are ready to help you! We rely heavily on a relatively low-tech tool to help us make decisions FAST. It will never fail us as it’s completely impervious to network failures, power failures, earthquakes and floods.
Here it is, folks. The magic 911 8-ball.
I’m sorry for the picture quality. My Razr camera phone is pretty lame.
As you can see, the answers it provides come directly from our administrators here at the department. Gassy, unreadable, vacillating, vague and keeps us guessing.

This is too funny :-) My friend is a dispatcher in San Franciso and I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of this.

I’m amused! Not necessarily reassured…but amused is more important to me, anyway. ;)
