LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Multiple 911 outages were reported in Nebraska on Tuesday.

Shortly before noon, the Lincoln Police Department said on Facebook that Verizon was “experiencing difficulties delivering calls to the Lincoln Emergency Communications Center.”

Verizon customers who call 911 in Lancaster County but get a busy signal should dial 402-441-6000.

About 8 p.m., multiple agencies began reporting similar problems.

In Howard County, 911 works for Verizon customers, but not for US Cellular or Viaero customers.
