TEXT TO 9-1-1 is available in Thurston County! While this can be a useful tool in certain situations, this is not meant to be a replacement for calling 911 in an emergency. TEXT TO 9-1-1 is more meant to aid responders in specific situations such as:
- Hearing/voice impaired caller
- Medical emergencies that prevent the caller from speaking
- Emergencies in which speaking would put the caller in danger (i.e. home invasion, domestic violence, etc.)
