Alternative phone numbers to 911 in Bay Area

In North America, you can call 911 to get to emergency services. Once your call is answered, you must quickly state why you are calling or what the nature of your emergency is (fire, robbery, kidnapping, accident, etc.). This enables the operator to take the right action within a few seconds.

In California, cell phone calls to 911 are traditionally routed through California Highway Patrol located in Vallejo. A fact that is less known is that many cities handle these calls on their own. This post covers a list of cities that have backup numbers to 911 in South Bay Area. You can call these numbers directly to reach to the city’s emergency services. It is a good idea to store these numbers on your phone. At the same time if you are in a life threatening emergency and are unable to retrieve these numbers on your phone (it takes a few extra seconds) just dial 911.
