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.
