Access to Emergency 911 Services

Your Safety Is Our Concern

In the event of an emergency, dial “911” on your telephone or contact local emergency numbers utilizing a TTY. 

LifeLinks advanced video relay service technology is being developed to enable access to emergency “911” responders serving your local area, wherever you may be located. This capability will be available to subscribers soon. 

Until then, should you experience an emergency requiring immediate assistance, please dial “911” or use a TTY device to contact local emergency assistance.  Pending deployment of an emergency access capability, use of LifeLinks video relay service to place emergency calls may delay connection to local emergency responders while interpreters determine current location, locate an emergency responder that serves your area, and then contacts the responder. In some cases, LifeLinks may be unable to locate a local emergency responder and connect emergency calls.

Additional information is available through the Federal Communications Commission at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/voip911.html , or by contacting LifeLinks at 212-563-5000.
